Create a multiple strobe lighting design with the following lights. Ratios are provided as suggested starting points. Don't forget to smile!
Document/photograph each light as you progressively add to the overall design, as shown in the pictures below.
- Dark background/ low key
- Main light...find optimal placement. Maintain for all shots. Build exposure around optimized f-stop.
- Fill light... start with 1:2 or 1:4 as desired/optimized
- Hair light...1:2 or 1:4 as desired/optimized
- Kicker (s). Use one kicker or two. For two kickers, use one per each side of the face. 1:2 or 1:4 as desired/optimized
- Background light... create a spot (as in demo image) or a wash / gradient of light. Place brightness no lighter than middle gray. Use reflective meter reading of the background.
Short light for key, no fill
Add fill, 1:2 or 1:4
Add hair light, 1:2 or 1:4
Add kicker(s), 1:2 or 1:4
Add background. In this case the brightest part of the spot was 1:2 from key light
