Light Setup
Hi! I was wondering what the lighting setup for this pictures would be as I would love to recreate it. It looks kind of like cloudy light but in studio. My guess is two standard reflectors from behind him pointing up and infront of him and a fill light in front. What do you guys think?   Thanks!

In this case, I see a main light on the left and reflectors top and bottom. Mar 30 17 05:47 pm Link In the top head-shot the nose shadow suggests paramount i.e. butterfly shadow under the nose... There is also a highlight on the top of the head suggesting a hair light... Albeit not a fan of the darken left eye socket... the key is a tad too high for my taste... your however may be different... I love the bottom image... the sweater is beautiful illuminated... However this is the classic polar bear in a snowstorm scenario... lol little if any background separation... Almost like two huge soft-boxes at 45 degrees either side of camera axis... Want of face shadows support this inference in my humble estimation... Would like to hear what others suspect here... Thank you for sharing...

I think your could recreate that ugly head shot lighting in studio, but the 2nd shoot looks outdoors for sure. I have a roof top that looks very similar the that Mar 30 17 07:49 pm Link Yosh Studio wrote: first shoot looks like Strand Apr 07 17 10:36 am Link |
