Shoot with a bare bulb through them, but far enough back to get the shadow you want. This will work if you want the edges of the shadow parallel, if you want them at an angle use foam core and position as necessary. Jan 03 13 02:39 am Link Patrick does this often enough. You rent an optical projector/flash, use the volts in it or make your own, filter the ambient light flash which is a much less intense flash somewhere off axis to colour the shadows. With Broncolor it's called the Profil I think. Prophoto have their own too. Jan 03 13 03:01 am Link |
