Creative kids portrait using "tabletop" lighting

[Koloskov]

Was testing my new Hasselblad and did these cool shots of my lovely daughters, you may like to see what was the lighting setup:





Hope the image of the lighitng setup is self-explainable. By varying ratio between #1 and #2 I’ve got the effect of washing the color from the face. Foamcore was placed under the glass for a better diffusion. Two little white reflectors on both sides of the table helped to soften the shadows. #3 is a hairlight, #4 is a gradient creator:



And this is why I had such event:
How I met my Hasselblad: A story of how dreams came true ;-)
All the best to everyone!
