:How Does I Get This Look:
I'm brand new to the studio. up until this fall all of my shoots have been on location and so Im not sure how to set up lighting for certain shots. For this look.. Im thinking 1 very bright light... http://www.beyonceonline.com/sites/beyonce/files/9d.jpg http://www.beyonceonline.com/sites/beyo … D_Tray.jpg And for this look.. 1 very soft light.... http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steve … s/120693/2 http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steve … s/120693/7 Please help Nov 15 11 10:21 am Link A hard light source, probably just an open octabank or beauty dish. The second looks to have some cross processing done to it as well. I see some earth tones in the shadows as well as complimentary tones in the highlights, granted I am not on a color calibrated screen at the moment.

Nov 15 11 10:54 am Link The first two look like hard light, maybe a beauty dish without a sock. Positioned center, above the camera pointed down. Look at the light - it's harsh, shadows angle downward third looks like its modified, probably a soft box camera right. Look at the shadows. reflector camera left to kick some light on the model's right side fourth looks like butterfly - two soft boxes center. one low angled up, one high angled down. I don't see shadows angled up or down. Catch lights are from below. either the second SB, or a reflector kicking light up to eliminate shadows and create the catch lights .

Aug 08 21 11:00 am Link Is your calendar stuck in 2011? You have responded to 3 long dead threads from that year. Not just threads that started nearly 10 years ago, threads that haven't had any activity in that time.

Clever usage of such a setup really - sort of ring light but not really as the unshielded tube created the shadow of the nose. Aug 11 21 09:54 pm Link Studio NSFW wrote: 10 year old thread. The OP either figured it out by now or gave up. Aug 13 21 03:22 am Link Well since the thread is back from the dead. I think they used a beauty dish. ![]() Cheers, Noah Aug 13 21 07:08 pm Link I like how back in 2011 how they say "how does I get this look" when now we typically say "How do I get this look"...funny how things change.
