Capturing the motion and the drama of dance can be a challenging but rewarding project. This lesson shows how we set up a lighting solution based on our Starlite continuous light system.
This dance studio wall would serve as the background for our photo session.
A Medium Starlite Kit was placed on the left side of the set and a Small Starlite Kit was set to the right. Each light was directed to face where our dancer would leap. Both lights would stand about 2 feet from the wall allowing the wall to be lit by the light "spill" of the soft boxes.
A Large SilverDome soft box and Starlite were positioned low and in front of the dancer. A background stand (LiteStand 2200) was used to secure the soft box.
The inner baffle and diffusion face were removed so that we would achieve a high-contrast light output.
Contrasting Colors for Vivid Results We used louvers for controlling the direction of light for this shot. See how controlling light and using vivid color add interest to a shot.
