A client of mine recently started letting me borrow his studio and lighting gear to experiment with, and it's been a really fun experience and I've been learning a lot. I got my friend Madison to model for me for the first of what I hope to be many shoots in this studio. I have a limited amount of time in the studio because there are other photographers who rent here, so a lot of time is spent trying to figure things out,, and I don't get as many shots as I'd like. I had a great internship a couple years ago that taught me a lot about lighting, but I was never tasked with handling the lighting gear so I didn't learn a whole lot about assembling things. Since I primarily shoot in natural/available light, a lot of the aspects of studio lighting are unfamiliar to me. I tried using some color gels as well for this shoot, but they were a little more difficult to understand than I had anticipated, and I don't feel like I got any keepers from that. I plan to keep trying on that though. I did however get some shots that I really like from a single light setup though.
The lighting was a Profoto D1 Air 500w in a 47" zeppelin parabolic softbox.
EOS 5D
85mm @ f/4.5
1/125th sec
ISO 125
Madison also requested a shot that shows off the new gold lettering on the tins of his own brand of mustache wax.
Same camera settings.
