Whenever I take a photo I try to tell a story rather than just focusing on how I want to light something or what gear I want to use.
For this shoot my subject, Carol, would look like she was walking out of a club late at night. She stops in the neon lights catches her reflection. Perhaps it has even started to rain. This story helps me to craft the lighting, posing and expressions of my subject.
For this shoot I used 3 Profoto d1 and d2 strobes, the first light had a tight 5 degree grid on the face to create a narrow beam of light. Next, to the left of the frame I used a zoom reflector and barn doors with a blue/teal gel. Finally, to the right of the frame I used a wider 20 degree grid and a magenta gel as a hair/rim light.
Because expression, pose, angles and position of light were critical, I shot a LOT of images and angles. I used my 128GB Lexar Professional memory cards because they are fast and reliable. I tend to shoot a ton, work very quickly and capture very large files. I need fast read-write speeds to keep up with my pace, and I need reliability. Sometimes I’ll even use both a CF and SD card so I have an automatic backup.
