FASHION / B EAUTY
KIT.
The Fashion / Beauty reflector kit is designed for ‘high-key’ style
photography. High key style photographs tend to focus on lighter tones using
subjects that are more illuminated and have higher contrasting shadows. High
key images are normally achieved by overexposing the photograph or flooding
the image with light creating an enchanting, almost angelic effect.
A ‘high key’ portrait setup would normally involve a light coloured
background with the model wearing bright coloured or lighter toned clothing.
High key photographs can often be quite challenging to accomplish as they
require a lot of lighting control because the photographer can easily risk
overexposing their images and losing any or all detail.

Fashion / Beauty Kit Photo Setup
For this high key style fashion / beauty shot a four head setup has been
used including a main light, a fill light, a hair light and a background
light. On the main light (which was suspended an a boom arm above the models
head) a 500Ws head with a Softlite reflector and the Grid Diffuser was used.
This was used to create a direct pool of light aimed at the models face
surrounded by a ring of soft diffused light.
For the fill light a High Performance reflector has been used on a 250Ws
head to blast the model with light without overexposing the picture or
losing any detail; for instance the sequins on the models top. A High
Performance
reflector has also been used on the background light (which was a 500Ws
head) to flood the background; once again without losing too much detail as
the background which was used was a patterned material cloth background.
The fourth flash head that was used in creating the above image was a 250Ws
head with a snoot and was placed directly behind the models head to
highlight the hair and produce a kind of angelic effect. The final accessory
that
was also used was an 80cm Reflector Disc which was placed in front of the
model with the silver side up to reflect light on to the front of the model
to give a slightly brighter look to the image. |
