A shot from this weekend.

And another shot. Shot the background and added the car in post.

Did a CFO-type headshot for one of my clients.

You should be...

What was your setup? Looks like you had one main front light with a softbox, and a catch light behind above right of frame?

LunaZ · 11-29-2014, 07:42 AM

One big octabox as my main light just left of center. A piece of foamboard on a light stand as a fill reflector to the subject's right. A hairlight with a 20° grid to the right rear. A rear light on the backdrop.

I had some trouble with the hairlight positioning. I think I might have needed to put it actually behind my subject. I wanted a little more of a rim light effect. Not to the point of looking like a glamour shot, but just a tiny bit more. In some shots, I had a really nasty flare because the light was actually pointing at my lens.

Took this whilst perusing a Grandfather Mountain Winery in NC this past week.

Wow nice shot sir! Great natural feeling light!

Sometimes when I do the hair light in a tight space, I try and use a light on a boom so I can get it right behind the subject, yet up above the frame, and feathered if need be to avoid flare. It makes for a more cluttered work area, but it helps.

Just took this a couple hours ago. Finally got an opportunity to bust out the 70-200 f4 IS for some panning shots. Still working the kinks out as I haven't done it a whole lot.

Something non Z related, from my 365 challenge:

Canon 5D Mark III w/ 28mm F/1.8
