photoblog image Celine #4

Celine #4


Model Celine. Young, beautiful and very enthusiastic. I really enjoyed working with her. Click here to see number three of her.


TECH-INFO: she is lit in Strobist style. Two silver umbrella powered by speedlights. One at the left and the other one at the right both on 45 degrees off camera axis. It's a simple but nice way to light full length portraits using pretty soft light. It yields very little shadows. The almost white wall of my living room served as background.
For post processing I used DxO for lens corrections, Portraiture for a bit smoother skin and Photoshop to enhance colors a bit. I experimented with the color replace tool to get a brighter background. Also some vignetting is added because I really like the effect it creates.

She has "enthusiastic" smile... Always surprised about your job on strobist setup. Soon I will start with a kit. I have a photographer friend who will lend me his studio kit. Good week.
LightningPaul: I wish you lots of fun with the strobist kit. Start with simple (one or two light) setup and experiment more when you get more and more good results. I also still have to experiment a lot.

Great lighting and great clarity. And an excellent model.
LightningPaul: She was great to work with. Thanks for the comment.
Not sure about the vignetting in this particular case (I use it myself sometimes), but the rest of the setup was spot-on. I usually use a shoot-through umbrella rather than a reflective one, but I like what your light did here -- I'll have to try that myself soon.
