Hi and welcome back.
Last Saturday I ran a workshop at Theia Studios in North Andover, MA, just outside Boston.
It went great! I taught the Headshot with speed lights only.
One of the looks we did really showcases how you can get creative on a slim budget, of course, that is only after spending your inheritance to get to this point with cameras, lenses, lights, soft boxes, reflectors, etc, etc, etc… As this IS photography after all!
But once you reach that point, you can get creative easily and without spending a lot of cash.
For this shot, I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods and purchased a roll of purple sports underwrap:
I simply wrapped the model like a Mummy and shot the look. For about $6.00 and $20.00 for Sephora Lipstick, which the model already owned, we got a super creative look and had a bunch of fun.
Here is a straight-out-of-camera raw to jpeg proof:
Here’s how I shot it.
Key: SB910, Bowens 60 x 90 softbox with Interfit S-Mount Ring for speedlights
Reflector: California Sunbounce Micro Mini, silver side up
Back: 2 SB800’s with Large Rogue Flashbenders as flags
Then, after we set the lights and exposure and shot the look we wanted, I had Amanda, our model, have fun with her facial expressions! She just rocked it and knocked it out of the park!
I wanted to take the traditional beauty shot on white to another level, and for only a few bucks, we shot an awesome and fun look.
Well that’s it for now. Till next time, stay creative!!
