All you need is a couple strobes…. It’s “like having a sunset in your pocket”. Tonight was one of those nights where I played both sides of the camera and had a lesson in strobology. Here’s what I came up with.


The “Force” remade 2010. Two flashes, manually activated by Pocket Wizards. Camera setting – f9, 1/250. Flash one is behind me gelled blue the other is camera right with a CTO and snoot. I think a flag to block the light spill on the background would be an improvement to this image. This would solve the problem of the shadows from equipment and the wire from my Pocket Wizard and render the background completely black. Lightsaber by Adobe Photoshop.


Classic clam shell beauty lighting. Two flashes. Flash one is camera right and high with a brolly. Flash two is behind me, gelled blue. A reflector was used just below my chin to add fill. Camera settings – f/9, 1/250. Manual everything, as usual.
