More Light Than Usual

Typically, I'm shooting with only two or three lights, anything more than that gets complicated and I wind up spending more time worrying about lighting than the photo. But while I was at Shari's studio, I grabbed a few interesting shots of Dwayne (His MM profile - may not be safe for work).

Both of these photos were lit with 5 lights. Two large soft boxes on either side, one boomed and gridded beauty dish coming in from over the camera, and two snooted speedlights riming the back corners.

ISO 200, 1/200 sec @ f/9, 70mm and 32mm respectively

I love his warm expression in the first photo
