See it/Do it (Post #1)

Posted by LP

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!
