Setting Up the Shot - Ash on Tuesday

Shooting Information

Camera - Konica Minolta 7D

Lens - Tamron 90mm f/2.8

Exposure - 1/45 @ f/2.8

Focal Length - 90mm

Lighting - Unbranded Studio strobe

Light Modifier(s) - 60" Westcott shoot through umbrella, and large diffusion panel

Trigger - Pocketwizard

For this shot I set up a large diffuser for the background and placed a strobe behind it to blow out the background and also to give some back light through her hair.

For the key light I used another strobe shooting through a Westcott 60" shoot through umbrella.

With her looking down her hair fell forward a bit and I increased the power from the light behind her to let the back light eat up some of her hair.

I wanted to capture a high key image of Ashlee and the honesty in her expression.
