Happy 4th of July! Though not intended as a 4th of July pinup, this turned out to be just the thing! Raven Le Faye gets ready for some summer fun when she's surprised by the local hooligans! Those scamps...
Lighting is an einstein in shoot-through umbrella left and behind model to light background and as rimlight, ab800 camera right just lighting the backdrop, and key is an einstein in an 80in parabolic brolly. Pro-tip, there's this stuff called backer board or tile board that's probably like $10 per 4x8 sheet. It's just fiber board with one side coated with white acrylic that is shiny and resistant to scuffs and bangs. Use that on the ground in high key shots to protect your white paper roll! You can overlap the edge on two sheets and the camera will never see it.
This was from a day-long session I did at Craig Clovin's attic studio in downtown San Jose. If you are interested in shared, semi-regular studio space you might hit him up: www.modelmayhem.com/854200
