Here is a perfect example of a spring picture concept . I was thinking about a spring shoot and incorporate it with a beauty picture. In our team that day we had very talented hairstylist
Kondor and Make up artist Darya .I noticed the flowers in my Garden and i thought how about using them in this picture. These pictures was shot in my home studio, with two lights and reflectors . In the first shot i used one light
Elinchrom bx500
Ri, on a medium soft box on to my camera left I was using my 35- 7.0mm 2.8 ED Nikon lens. I was also using a couple of reflectors. The meter reading was f11 at 125 shutter speed. In the first image i black bounced from the other side to create more shadows and reduce the spill we also used another reflector under the model to get that extra punch on her collar bone and face definition..
In the second picture here the backdrop is actually off a sari and i have lit it up with SB800 and using reflectors restrict the the light on the backdrop to avoid spill.the second light was camera left with the similar exposure. Both the images had similar highlights but the only difference is the backdrop
Now you will think how come both the images look so diff rent even though they were shot under similar conditions and exposures... On purpose the make up was done glossy to shine and catch every highlight possible..In the first image we made sure all the highlights we created come through properly in the second pictures post production i killed the highlight of the image and this was the result i got, very pale flat looking picture.
