Tip : Add some lights
We all know we light our models or subjects with lights, right?
But sometimes it’s incredibly cool to also include a lightsource in the shot itself.
Take for example the image on top.
Now you have to remember that the strobes are pretty strong, so you need a light that actually emits a lot of light. In this case we used a Lumecube which gives a tremendous amount of light.
Always remember that the aperture is the setting for the strobe.
And remember that the shuttertime actually controls the ambient light vs the strobe. The slower the shutter speed… the more natural light. So in a case like this where you include a lumecube, just put the strobes as low as possible (use diffusers, feathering, whatever as long as the output goes down) and now use the shutterspeed to let the LumeCube get brighter.
If you shot some images including a LumeCube (or similar) feel free to show. Always love to see your work.
