Monochrom Studio Help


2wk

I have a studio shoot coming up this thursday. I am going to be using my brand new Monochrom for at least some of the shoot. I asked this lighting question over in the RFF with no answers. Basically I am trying to get something similar to this Hedi Slimane shoot. Any help with lighting suggestions would be much appreciated.

Look on the photo as it would be a mirror - it will show you most of the lighting used.

 

look at the quality of the shadows - these will give you a fairly good idea of:

number of sources (I see 4 sources)

position

type (hard / soft)

 

otherwise you find out judging the famous five:

- highlights

- shadow definition

- shadow contrast

- coverage / eveness of the lit surface

- Edge transfer

 

good luck

I'm not a pro studio shooter, but I guess it's a tube from the back of the model and probably a dish from the front/top, just above the camera

 

And maybe one right at the feet the throw those shadows. (This post is great. It hits home, as I have been thinking a lot about light within the studio environment.)

 

Thanks!
