In todays episode I visit some flea markets and shoot some images for my “the portrait project”
Also included a small tip for older PCs, and of course the MacPhun competition.
tip with wide angles and backlighting
One of the things I absolutely LOVE to do on location is use backlighting, it can be sun, a door, a window, a …. well anything.
During a recent Urbex workshop we found this amazing control room, the problem….. it was VERY dark, but… that’s why we bring strobes 😀 so we used one strobe in front of our model (Nadine) and one strobe in the back.
This backstrobe lit up the complete room and also created some really cool backlighting effects when I just let it shine through Nadine but positioning myself in different angles (seeing the light, not seeing the light is literally sometimes a matter of shifting slightly to the left or right).
Although I loved the shots, they really came to live when I added a wide angle lens in the picture, in this case the 12-24 from Sigma. A lot of people are afraid of the distortion of these extreme wide angles, but trust me… when you USE the distortion it can give you great results.
To finish the look we added a blue gel in front of the front strobe, to give it a more “futuristic” look.
