Hello all,
Still learning the details of using strobes in my living room studio. This is a friend of mine in her Victorian dress. Lighting is a pair of 24"x36" softboxes next to each other, 150w/s each. Hair light is a gridded 110w/s strobe about 8 feet behind and to the right of the subject. Since I don't have access to a larger softbox, I figured placing the two smaller boxes together would do the trick. Overall I am pretty happy with the image. The NEF file is brighter and the darkness is caused by the post-production actions I used (Kubota actions LOTR Everyday and Daily Multivitamin). The backdrop is a 10x20 painted muslin and works with the time period of the dress but not necessarily the color. Overall I think the lighting and the composition worked out pretty well, any comments and critique are welcomed.
