A composite family portrait that I had shot a few months back, but had to make some revisions on from the original for the family (the son went from a Yellow to Orange belt in the time since we shot them).

Strobist info: we had three fixed lights: an elinchrom quadra shooting through a 3x3 lastolite skylight outside, directed at the wall you see through the window.

Another Quadra through a 100cm Deep Octa on-axis literally just over the camera lens, for fill light.

We used two *moving* lights to light the family, for the mother and son we had a lastolite hotrod strip softbox in-behind them as kickers and used a 24" ezybox as key (both with 580exII's), the dad just had the ezybox, and we used the strip light in the foreground for the daughter.

Portrait taken for their new social media profiles & whatever other uses they may have this year.

Strobist info: Elinchrom BXRI through a small beauty dish (gridded) directly above subject & pointing back to hit just their face.

Eco-ringlfash on a quadra unit on-camera about 1.5 stops down from the overhead for fill (depending on distance from the subject).

Strobist info: I used a 580exII set to master & 430ex set to slave, attached with a 15' TTL cord (both with dome diffusers on). Fired through a Westcott 28" Apollo softbox & then further diffused using a lastolite tripgrip diffuser, behind and at camera right. I bounced some light back with a very close piece of white foamcore.

I used Nik software's ColorEfex Pro 4 Detail extractor filter to further bring out the textures.
