May 6th, 2010

As I mentioned yesterday, I love to photograph people I know . . . so when our friend Claudia wanted some shots done, I knew we'd have a blast.

Claudia has a very old Hollywood beauty and I wanted to accentuate that with some classic lighting techniques. We shot this in a make shift studio with a black backdrop set up in my living room. Lit with two Nikon Speedlights fired remotely from a Nikon SU800. The benefit of photographing your friends - as opposed to professional models - is the leeway they give you to experiment and tweak your set up. You don't have to get it right the first time . . . but adjust here and there until you get the effect you are looking for.
