While playing around in studio we decided to create something different, more colourful and show the advantage of working with the Litepipe P.
For this unusual, but yet expressive portraiture we used a Litepipe P in combination with a green filter. The light modifier was placed underneath the models face and covered with a green filter except the end of it was covered with a black towel to gain more control of the green illumination on the face. The Litepipe P was a great solution because we were able to get the face nicely lit from underneath and gained more control using it in combination with the one counter reflector.
Second light was a 30x120 softbox in combination with a red filter set behind the models head. The lights were in general set up quiet closely to the model to work with less flash power to not destroy the mood of the image.
It was important to get the right light fall off and the right reflections in the eyes. Achieving the thin reflection in the eyes was done with the accessories strip mask. The strip mask made it possible to gain more control over the light, make a bigger light distribution a smaller light distribution and to get the perfect reflections in the eyes.
The last two light modifiers were to P70 reflectors. One was responsible for the yellow rim light and the other was to gain a blue separation on the background. Both of these reflectors were used with a filter holder and filters.
The lampheads, which were used, were Siros L and Siros S.
A different, but yet interesting portraiture.
Thanks for the great teamwork Clay Patrick McBride, David Turner and Frankie Bonn.
