The basics of portrait photography could fill many large books. Here we show how to shoot a studio portrait using strobe lights and reflectors.
(Click on any image below for an enlarged view.) |
Topics Covered:
- Using portable flash units
- Using reflective fill
Equipment Used:
 Figure 1 |
We began this shoot by setting a Large MultiDomeQ39 with the four gold panels installed inside, to the right of our camera. The gold interior will give our model a warmer look. |
 Figure 3 |
Then we set up a 32" Photoflex white/soft gold LiteDisc held in place by a Photoflex LiteDisc Holder on a Photoflex 2218 LiteStand. |
 Figure 4 |
We put the soft gold side towards the model and positioned the LiteDisc towards the front of the model so that the fill would hit the face and not the hair. |
 Figure 6 |
We put a 22" MultiDisc on a LiteDisc holder and a 2218 LiteStand and positioned it above the model to light the hair. |
 Figure 8 |
Finally, we set up another MultiDome on a 2322 LiteStand and positioned it so that it would light the background to give depth to the photo. |
