Continuing the photo session with Ulorin Vex, doing\u00a0high-key studio portraits<\/a>\u00a0in the studio, she changed into a different costume. I wanted a more interesting edge definition than just the light spilling back from the background, so I added two gridded softboxes to each side …<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The grids on the softboxes help contain the light spill, instead of the light flooding everywhere. \u00a0The light from behind (via the two gridded softboxes), helped define the contours of the outfit.<\/p>\n I used the Profoto Air system to trigger the two Profoto D1 heads (one on the background, and one in the softbox). To trigger the Nikon Speedlights, I set them to SU4 mode, so that they would be optically triggered when the main lights go off.<\/p>\n Other photo sessions where I used the gridded soft-boxes: With Ulorin Vex in this blue latex outfit, I started off with the beauty dish, as it was set up for the previous set<\/a>. For some poses, the harder light from the beauty dish would give a shadow that is too distinct. (As can be seen in this photo.)<\/p>\n I either had to ask Ulorin Vex to restrict her movements (which would hamper the flow of the shoot), or I had to change to a larger, softer light source. \u00a0I settled on changing the beauty dish out for the\u00a0Profoto RFi 3’x4′ softbox<\/a>\u00a0(affiliate<\/em>). Much softer light.<\/p>\n For more info on the processing: \u00a0Photoshop filters \u2013 retouching for portraits<\/a><\/p>\n camera settings<\/strong> for all images: 1\/125 @ f\/8 @ 100 ISO<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" High-key studio lighting for portraits\u00a0(part 2) Continuing the photo session with Ulorin Vex, doing\u00a0high-key studio portraits\u00a0in the studio, she changed into a different costume.
