Week 2 setup…
Here is week 2 setup. This is a very simple setup and a setup that a lot of automotive photographers use. Despite this being a shot with a person in it, I did not really have a way to soften the light on him. One thing to note about this setup is that I did not align one of the strobes right, so there’s a big shadow on the wall in this week’s photo. Anyway, this is a cross lighting setup. 2 strobes were used with no light modifiers. On the right, I have an Alienbee B800 set to 1/2 power about 15ft away. On the left, I have a Vivitar 285hv set to full power about 10ft away. The tripod was 30ft away and shot with my 85mm lens. The camera settings were 1/6th, f/2.5, iso100. The reason for the 1/6th of a shutter was to bring some of the natural light that was being cast onto the wall in the background to the left. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
