D'Angelo Midili (model)My first time ever lighting my own shoot with studio lights. After a fellow SPA photographer gave me a quick lesson on HOW to set up strobe lights, i used two soft boxes on the model, and light the cyc with one more strobe, this was what i achieved.
I was incredibly frustrated because i went to the studio with no idea really about what i was doing. Fortunately i shot with Jan (one of my mentors and fav photographers) and he gave me a crash coarse on basic lighting in between sets on one of our shoots. It took me a good 30 minutes JUST to figure out how and why the lights were responding like they were and why the slave on one strobe wasn't working so i just set up another remote light thing on it.. and TADA, it worked.. SOOO on i went.. adjusting, moving, shooting, until i finally got a some what light set up that i figured would work. These are some of the photos that i produced.
Leaving the studio pretty annoyed with myself, for no good reason, i got the images on my computer and was actually impressed.. But i know NOW next time, i'll head to the studio with a game plan..
