Don't Mess With Us


As things were winding down near the end of the shoot, I asked the person in charge if all three of the models could pose together.  They did tons of different poses, but all of us photographers were shooting so rapidly that the main octo light in this setup started to overheat and dim.  That created the dramatic lighting in this image.

The image below was shot with the same setup, but with the main light at full power.


I set up this pose, with the ladies rebuffing Rex and Rex wondering what is going on.

Tearra



Tearra, looking as lovely as ever after her clothing change.

Tearra is lit by the same dramatic one light setup that was used on Rex.

Nicole


Continuing with my fashion shoot images, I finally found out the names of the ladies.  This is Nicole after her clothing change.  I like this outfit much better than her wrinkled yellow rain dress.

Nicole was lit by the beauty dish/rim light combo for this image.

The Thinker

Blog number four from my fashion photo shoot.

More from Rex today.  Most of the time he was picking his own poses or was being directed by other shooters, but this pose was my request.  And he did it so well.

Here is a reference shot of the dramatic lighting that lit Rex so well.  One single light shining down from above.  Sometimes a reflector was used to lighten some of the shadows a bit.  The reflector was used on his arm and torso in the pose above.

Lovely


Blog three from my fashion photo shoot.  This model was so strikingly lovely.  Of the two female models, I thought this one was, by far, the prettiest.

Her smile could light up a room.

This lighting setup was a single beauty dish lighting the face and a small rim light for the hair.  (The rim light is off to the left, out of view.)  See reference pic below.
