I saw this photo of Arnie taken by Martin Schoeller, i thought the lighting looked liked something different to what i have seen before. We found the lighting set up on a video on youtube and had a go ourselves. Schoeller uses a 10x8 camera, we didnt have any 10x8 negatives so we used 5x4, i havnt yet had them developed so i edited some of the digital ones that i did. I think the results were good but i am hoping for more with the 5x4 negs
Hi,
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing but your portraits are far from the lighting Martin Schoeller or Gill Greenberg uses. Just put a softbox or a striplight left and right of the subject, very near and add a little fill on the top or the bottom if you like. Then paint a lot with photoshop and there you have it.
I guess your lighting works the same way but the lack contrast, so perhaps you can use flags and place the strobes very near
