1st Restaurant Portraits
I placed Roxette against a door and used the AD300 Pro as the main light to highlight her face and then used the LC500 R with a RED light to give her that side light on her neck.
2nd Restaurant Portraits
We did the same lighting set up as the first one. But we had Roxette sit down on the couch. Giving her the same red glow as highlights while lighting her face subtly with the AD300 Pro.
3rd Restaurant Portraits
Still similar lighting but we brought the power a bit down on the lights to get more natural light on her face. But we stuck her on the corner surrounded with building pipes. This came out nice cause it gave it that griddy look.
1st studio portraits
This was all natural light coming from the window. The sun was peaking through and wanted to use that nice sun glare and place it on Roxette’s eye. Love how this came out.
2nd Studio Portrait
Same spot and same sun light but we just added the LC500 R to give a nice green glow on the side. And we came out with this portrait.
3rd Studio Portraits
This one is my classic look with 1 light set up. Using the AD300 Pro with a small softbox, focusing on Roxette’s emotions and facial expression while giving her a touch of light on her face.
4th Studio Portraits
I just decided to remove that one light and use the LC500 R to give her a nice RED glow. Off to the side same spot as the strobe giving her a mysterious feel with a bit of a mood to it.
5th Studio Portraits
With this portrait I got close by using a 100mm lens. This gave the portrait a more intimate setting. Using 1 light beauty dish and focusing on her lips, face and eyes.
6th Studio Portraits
With this portrait I wanted to do something different. We grabbed the mirror and had JT hold it while we shot her portrait. Placing the light right above her head with a small softbox gave her a nice glimmer on top. This gave us a nice effect doubling on Roxette’s face.
