black_face

ok, you can't really understand my excitement, but in the last few days I got a second strobe (a SB800) and yeasterday I got 2 lightstand and an umbrella.
I had to test it and I wanted to do something I knew it would be hard for me.
So I went with texture and white blown up background, something I usually have to fake in photoshop.

And this photo has no photoshop at all (except for cloning away an hairpin that was ugly: but usually they don't show, I didn't expect this amount of detail!!)
it's like a new world has been opened in front of me. Why the hell I didn't do this before?!

STROBIST INFO: you can see the set set . As you can see, it could not be more ghetto.
And YES, the umbrella is duct-taped to the stand (moishe, where is my umbrella swivel, pweeeeese?)
both the flash units are triggered by camera (yay for SBs :)


P.S. Painting your face black an hour before meeting a client is PLAIN DUMB. Kids, don't do this at home...
