The darkside of light
When you follow my blog you will probably already know that I love the more high contrast lighting setups…
Now some people might think that you can only setup lights like that from one position or with 1 look, and trust me nothing is less true. When you start to move around your subject (and this can be little steps) you will quickly find out that you can control your contrast and look of the images. This is a very simple technique with huge results. Today some samples from this technique I shot with Cherelle during one of our workshops. The light setup is actually exactly the same in all shots (believe it or not :-))
First photo is superb sir… I love it 🙂
Just like shooting outdoors in direct sunlight. Keep circling the subject until you get the lighting you want 😎
Yep
Need just 1 light and create magic, very nice Frank! The model is stunning too 😉
thanks, and yeah I love all my models 😀
in a good way.
Hello Frank, I am a college photography student and had a photo shoot today, would just like to say thank you because I got a lot of inspiration from your lighting setups, this especially. using just the one light made the job alot simpler but still with amazing outcomes.
Thanks great to hear I could help.
please show lighting diagram for us…is it possible or not?
Hi,
Follow the shadows and it should be pretty easy 😀
It’s one strobe from the back of the model aimed forward, so it’s a sort of side lighting.
