So I had a photo shoot for a client, Simon B (Texan Eyewear) on Wednesday. Obviously because its eyewear this is a beauty shot. We wanted to create a soft glow in back of the model but still keeping it fairly dark. We did that by shooting it on a black backdrop and lighting it with a flash head that had a colored gel on it. We used a soft box that was placed to the left of the model (my right) and we had to raise the tripod fairly high as to not get the soft box to show up in the glasses.
My assistant Rob was on the other side with a silver reflector. The reason I use him and not a reflector on a stand is because I like the flexibility of the reflector and what it can do with light when its being used by someone that understands light very well (Thanks Rob!) This also allows the model to move around and he can follow her with the reflector. On a stand that would not be possible.
Makeup & Hair was by Jessica Cohen and model was Marina eva
Here is a light diagram showing the setup followed by actual photo of the setup and a closeup of the light that was behind the model.
