Lindsay

It's been a while since I've had a chance to post some photos on the blog. Eric and I have done 4 photo shoots since Serena, so expect to see some most posts within the near future. Finals are two weeks away, so I expect to be caught up once finals are done.

After a overcast week we ended up with a wonderfully sunny afternoon. Mike came along to assist on the shoot and was put to good use holding up a large (41"x74") translucent screen. It diffuses the light from the sun and creates a large soft light. It's a wonderful tool, it's just not as sturdy as I would like. It's essentially a very cheap version of the Sun Swatter.

To make the most of the wonderful weather we shot outside by the trains near Touchet. Near sunset we drove a few miles to Lovers Lane and finished off the shoot there. Big thanks to Lindsay for coming out and being a great model.







Lighting info

Train: The Elinchrom Octa Light Bank (camera left) was used as main, along with a Photoflex 41"x74" translucent screen to soften the light from the sun. A 42" reflector + SB-600 was brought in for fill (camera right). The first shot was lit with natural light + reflector.

Lovers Lane: Elinchrom 39" Deep Octa as main.
