Studio lighting setup #17, charcoal background.
Hey hey! When I shoot in studio, I use diaphragm about F10. That gives me good sharpness and doesn’t hinder movements of the model. But I’ve always loved pictures with low depth of field. That is why, this time, I would like to share with you a studio lighting setup, with which I worked with diaphragm F4 on CANON EF 70-200 mm f/2.8 L USM. All light sources are at minimal power and the light adjustment is made only by moving light sources nearer or farther from the model. This is not so comfortable and requires time, but the result is worthwhile! As a key light I settled a big softbox to the right of the model, snoot on the background and as usual I set one more light source, fill light, behind the camera. Have a nice weekend and cya very soon! Cheers!
