Ok, so I said that we would start teaching how we do some of the crazy things we shoot, so here is the debut post!
Last week I finally got the chance to shoot something I have been looking forward to for a while, a commerical shoot for Sin City Fight Gear. Basically think Affliction, without having to sell your first born to buy a shirt. ;-) Check out their website here: www.sincityfightgear.com
They have some great clothing to choose from. Enough about that on to the shoot.
My model was Katie. I didn't want to have to pack around a ton of gear, which is basically the way I shoot anyways, all flashes off camera, and atleast 2 Canon 580EX flashes.
Here is the gear that I had for the shoot:
2- 580Ex Flashes
1- Apollo Softbox
Multiple Gels
Large White/Silver Reflector
40d Camera
Alien Bees Flash Syncs
I have a blue gel'd 580EX to the left of Katie, and the other 580EX with the softbox is to the left (her right). I put both the flashes on Manual, and the main on 1/4, and the blue gel'd one on 1/2. The camera settings were shutter-1/160, iso 100, f/3.5.
I basically just moved the soft box around, some on the left, some on the right. Basically just playing with it, till I got the light the way I wanted it.
If you have questions or comments, post them, and I will answer them when I get a chance!
