I did some promotional photography this week for Madison's Fashion Week. Basically April 23rd-26th. There are numerous events and showings going on. Very cool event and this year is the first year of its existence. Unfortunately in Madison Wisconsin there aren't so many of these neato events going on.. the population just doesn't support it (200,000-250,000).Anyway I did some promotional photography for Headlines studios which is doing a lot of the hair and makeup. These are photos of Andrea just after she got down with her cut and dye. The first one was put in our Wisconsin State Journal. Yay me.
These were all shot in the back of the salon. The front area of the salon had a ton of directional lights which made the lighting color very ugly and it was difficult to shot under. I elected to find a place out of the direct lighting.. Utilizing a gray divider we setup. I had one main light in a shoot through umbrella and a fill light or background light (depending on the shot) without any modifiers. I didn't have any modifiers on the second light because I wanted to have more directional control.
All were shot with my trusty canon 40d, 17-55 IS Lens. I had a 580EX as the master and a 430ex as the slave. 580 with the shoot through umbrella. Used ETTL with various ratios. I wish I had another light, very very soon. And I can't wait until I get my radiopoppers. It will allow me huge control and huge distance for lighting. I'm excited. Should get them this week.. maybe!
The third light would have provided a fill light for some of the darker areas.. giving me a back light, and then one on either side of the model.. Andrea was a lovely model and we had some great shots to use for the paper. More shots from the actual mens runway will be coming shortly as well.
