3 Light Head Shot

I did this 3 light shoot a while back to help me get a feel for the space of my new studio. As I explain below none of the lights were pointed straight at the model.



A fill light was fitted with a Elinchrom Beauty Dish. The light was just to the right of the camera, 3.5 feet above head level, with the center of the light aimed at the model's feet.

The main light was off to the side and used a 5' Photoflex Octodome. It was setup up at head level and was aimed downward so as to light the model and the area immediately in front of her. The center of the lighting was about a foot in front of the model.

The third light was a hair light, I used a 30 degree grid and the light was about 2' above head level aimed so that the light skimmed her hair.




Hope this can help you out!
