O, 4 years old, strikes a dance pose.

Lighting: 2 Elinchrom Ranger packs; two heads into large strip-boxes behind and on either side of her, and a third head pointing straight on the subject behind the camera above right, through a 20 degree grid.

My little bud up a the cottage, promising me he'll kill me with his awesome homemade ninja sword skills.

Lighting: 2 Elinchrom Ranger packs; two heads into large strip-boxes behind and on either side of the young ninja, and a third head pointing straight on the subject behind the camera above right, through a 20 degree grid.

My friend was very kind and co-operative to model for me while I experimented with a bunch of lighting setups up at the cottage.

Lighting:
- Elinchrom Ranger A Head in a medium octa, camera left
- Elincrhom Ranger A Head bounced into a reflector in front of subject for mild fill.
- Triggered via Elinchrom Skyports

My friend was very kind and co-operative to model for me while I experimented with a bunch of lighting setups up at the cottage.

The lighting in this one was an attempt to create a natural looking light with strobes. This is 100% strobe lit:
- Elinchrom Ranger A Head bare bulb in the room adjacent to the model. This was pointed towards the far wall and ceiling of the adjacent room, allowing the light to fill the room and spill through the doorway into the kitchen and onto the model.
- White reflector just to camera left filling in the shadow side.
- A white sheet on the counter immediately beneath the model, for just a bit of subtle under-fill.
- Triggered via Skyports.
