Day Twelve: A Warm Portrait on a Chilly Day

It was another raw day outside today and once again I decided to shoot in the warm studio. This time, a warm feeling and warm toned portrait of Molly. It's been a busy day and I still have a meeting tonight, so this is going to be short today.

Strobist: AB1600 in Westcott Apollo 28in softbox, camera left and above with its lower half flagged by black foamcore to increase fall-oof. 48in gold reflector camera right and slightly behind just out of frame. SB800 with 10 degree grid camera left as "hair" light set at 1/16th to just keep separation and not highlight the camera left side of the hood.

Day Two: Blue Sky in the Studio

Molly and I worked hard on getting the studio organized today. Once we got the studio in order, we set up a new blue muslin that arrived via UPS while we were away for the Christmas holiday and I broke out the big lens (Nikkor 70-200/2.8 VR) and she put on her colorful scarf and hat and we had some fun. The goal was sharp, poppy colors...I think we got what we set out to get.

Two done, a lot lot lot more to go...

Strobist info: SB800 at 1/2 power camera left into a 40 in Photoflex silver bounce umbrella. Fill from camera right with a Westcott 40in square silver reflector. Fired with Buff CSTs.
