Janelle Senior ~ Yellow Flower Patch

working on Janelle's senior photo portfolio..

the lighting here was all faked sun light..

2 AB1600 were used..

camera right rear for fake back lighting being it was really just cloudy and dark outside and cold !

key lighting was @ 1/2 power with 60 PLM mother held down the light so it wouldn't blow over

back lighting was AB1600 at 1/2 power with yellow gel..

looks like a sunny day eh? not !

all lights triggered by the Consistent firing Cactus V5's

    I really really like the light, location and mix of colours but I have to be honest and tell you that the pose looks very weird and awkward.

    thanks guys.. and also to the ones that think it is a weird pose.. take a look at this one..

    www.flickr.com/photos/-phamster-/4333802096/

    i use this pose for edgy, but had to crop in tighter because the bottom of my frame was darker

    but in the end, the crop will be in even tighter, the girls only care about how their face looks anyways so for a wallet crop 5x7 and in tighter the ON ALL 4's pose will be diffused even more..

    Fantastic. Just curious if you are using the standard AB LiteMod gel holder for the rim light or something else? I've been contemplating whether I should buy that or use some other DIY solution.

    Excellent

  22. -=Omi=- (13 months ago | reply)

    Apparently it's just me lol But it's hardly the same concept as the one you've linked ;)

  23. ~Phamster~ (13 months ago | reply)

    Dave. It is a gel plate that I clipped on. DIY solution

    @ Omi Others in forums have said it looks weird too. Not only you

    I like the look and the pose.

    She seems predatory and cat-like.

    Very sensual.
