Perfection in form is how we refer to this take. Beautiful in its simplicity and yet awe is found amid the organic peaks and hills of the human body.
This was a high key shot taken approximately three weeks ago with a minimal three light setup. We used two medium sized softboxes to flank the sides of the white background paper to blowout the background keeping it pure white. The model which reclined on her side, had our huge 175 cm softbox hovering roughly 4' above her parallel to the length of her body.
What we got was a beautiful wrapping light as should be expected with such a large light source. We instructed our model to tilt just enough away from the light to emphasize her deliciously wonderful toned torso and natural body curvature. We wanted to be sure that we maintained the fine details of natural skin texture as well as the stiching on her garment.

I'm really interested in the softbox you wrote about. That's pretty large. What is the brand of that box and how do I get more information on it?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more pics from this one.

Not a problem Jeffrey. The softbox is made my Elinchrom. It is referred to as a Rotalux Octa. As mentioned in the original post, the one we used was the 175 cm. That's huge and measures to just only a few inches shy of 6 feet. It's perfect as a single light source and creates a nice soft wrapping light for full length portraits or small groups.
ReplyDeleteRemember that 6' is the diameter. As such this thing is a monster, lightweight and easy to deploy but quite large. Make sure you have the space to deploy it. It looks a bit like a small satellite dish when fully deployed.
