A few days ago we had the unique privilege to photograph a good friend and the super talented musician Sara Ciantar.
This shot, for her newest CD cover, was a fun little setup with no fewer than 6 lights. She was super stoked and we can't wait to see the finished piece.
For those photo nuts that may be watching here is a lighting diagram of how we did this. We were going for a shadowless look, we started trying to go for a Victorian cameo feel but ended up with the above image instead. The numbers were;f/16.5 @ the camera
f/16 metered for the ring flash
f/ 11.5 for the two front umbrellas
f/ 5.6 for the boomed face light (with grid attached)
f/ 22.5 for the two bare bulb kickers in the background which also lit the backdrop
Converted to B&W in Adobe Light-Room, Absolutely NO re-touching on this one.
Thanks and happy shooting,
Dan
