Cowgirl

We used a 5-foot (medium) OctoDome³ with a strobe head as our main light.

This shot shows the OctoDome³ in relation to the camera and the model.

This large main light source is the key to getting a great shot.

This is the result shot using only the main light. It's a good start, but we need to brighten the shadows.

We set up a large LitePanel frame with the translucent fabric as a diffusion screen for our fill light.

A large LiteDome (with strobe) was placed behind the LitePanel screen. The resulting light will be very soft as it illuminates the shadow side of our model.

This result shot shows a much brighter image.

We placed a medium WhiteDome (with strobe) overhead and between the background and our model. A Boom and Boom Stand were used to position this light set up.

The WhiteDome comes with four removable black skirts that can be used to block light emission from any side of the box.

This frontal view shows the position of this light on the set.

Adding the WhiteDome overhead provided a good separation between our model and the background.
