Denton's Lakes and Snakes - part 4 of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Published 01/04/2014

All taken with Nikon D300 18-70 mm lens, ISO 200 1/200s f16.

After a quick change of outfit, we had Jade lie down on a wooden floor panel. The shooting angle was from half way up a stepladder.

Lighting was the same strip-box as before but this time mounted on a boom arm and fitted with a fabric 'egg crate' grid. The box was turned to match the angle of Jade's body and then placed slightly behind her, angled back towards me. That produced a little shadowing and modelling across her body. Again a light test was made before Suzy was introduced to the whole set! It's the kind of shoot where you have to be patient as we had little control where Suzy was going to go. Jade had to lie in position whilst Jon and Paul placed and cajoled Suzy back into position and I just shot as and when it all looked good. It means you tend to over shoot on these occasions, generating a lot of images that are later deleted but still being alive to that critical moment happening in front of you.

All taken with Nikon D300 18-70 mm lens, ISO 200 1/200s f10.

From there it was another change of outfit and select a 'metal-look' vinyl backdrop. A single light was used from the front, as with the first set, but without a hair light. Two snakes and a great look. All details as before but f7.1 (Opposite left)
