Ashley and Lisa – Studio
I want to thank Joshua London for letting us use his studio! It was nice to have a large warm indoor place with tall ceilings to shoot. The original model didn’t show up due to her schedule but luckily the exuberant Ashly was willing to model for us on short notice and she brought her lovely friend Lisa as well. Me, Alvin, and Josh all shot them…with our cameras. We really didn’t have any specific ideas we wanted for the shoot. We just wanted to have a fun casual time along with a few beers.
And since we had all this space at our disposal I tried a new lighting technique that I never done before which was to have a really white/blown out background. Speedlights are not the greatest to use for that purpose, but you got to use what you got (need more Alien Bee’s!). The Main light was a B800 with large softbox above the models and SB600′s with silver umbrellas facing the background.
It was a great shoot, it’s aways fun with them!!!

Looks like the speedlights worked out fine for the background…cool!
01.3.10 on 9:44 amThey did, but at full to half power the recycle time was not the fastest lol
01.3.10 on 4:07 pmThese look great! How did you fire the SB600s?
01.4.10 on 12:11 pmThank you! They were all fired via CyberSyncs.
01.4.10 on 3:43 pmWhat kind of light stand/boom do you have supporting the AB and softbox? I’m thinking of purchasing a couple, and options are plentiful..therefore confusing.

I’m using an AB boom arm but they dont make it anymore.
This one is exactly like the AB boom arm except is has a smaller counter weight for about the same price.

Look around on some flickr groups for discussions on boom arms. some people dont like that one, but i never had any problems with it if you use it correctly.
02.8.10 on 11:12 amCool. Thanks for the info. I’ve read a lot of the Flickr threads about it, and the opinions are varied. Thought I’d just ask someone local that shoots a lot of quality stuff. Thanks for the info!
