Crazy Dancing
Here’s a shot we did for The Dance Project - Redding’s best dance troupe. (If you disagree I’d be more than happy to arrange a ‘dance off’ with the troupe in question). I’ve been using the same lighting setup for most of my shots lately. It’s a very simple, three-light setup. One key light overhead (in a shoot thru umbrella) and two kickers on either side in the back. This is the same setup for the Supermom shoot. Even though I’ve been trying to use this set up consistently, I feel like each time I get something different. The same lighting setup, with subtle differences in key light, distance, angle, diffusion, intensity, ...

The White Stag
At the last Pasta Nite (not to be confused with Beer Nite, Movie Nite, or Night Nite), someone raised the question of Narnia vs. Harry Potter. I think the point was to compare the two series of books based on commonly accepted literary criteria. But since both of these book series have been made into films, it got me thinking.

Supermom
Title: Super Mom Location: Kids Kingdom Playground, Redding Model: Angie and her daughter. Special thanks to Michelle for her stellar make-up work. Lighting: Three 1200ws strobes (I forget the brand), shoot-thru umbrella, high output fan (for the cape) and a generator to power it all. For this shot we used the trusty (and glossy) three light setup. No, it’s not the three-light setup you’re thinking of (key, fill, back). It’s an edgier take on the three-light. Actually, it’s more like a four light setup if you count ambient as a light source. So we’ve got a strobe with a shoot-thru umbrella camera left as the key. It’s about a stop over ambient allowing ambient to ...
