jtsmith Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Lauren I had the pleasure of working with Model and Make up Artist Lauren, from Miami. Supershoots welcomes her to the family and doubles as a wonderful artist and model. A shot using a soft box as a background. A beauty shot portrait using a tenting, tilting or tee pee'ing, if you will, two soft boxes close to Lauren for soft light. Hard to go wrong with a pretty face.

Thanks for bringing that up. The blue jean vest is kind of made that way but does appear to deform. I left it that way. Perhaps lazy. I also hate the floating hand.

squareeyez Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Lauren I dig it! Her facial skin looks a bit mannequin-esque but I know she is real because mannequins don't have that kind of booty. Nov 01, 2009 at 04:49 PM

tonylovesmary Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Lauren JT -- Nice work. Two very different moods, and I really like the B&W conversion on #1. One question: you wrote "soft box as a background" -- how big is that softbox, and how far away was it from Lauren? OK, that was two questions. Nov 01, 2009 at 07:07 PM

The black and white was converted already in the BnW mode on the S3 Fuji. 4 Feet on the softbox. Lauren is petite. I would guess I had her 2 ft from it. J T Nov 01, 2009 at 07:11 PM

tonylovesmary Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Lauren Wow -- so the B&W was straight out of the camera, with no extensive tweaking on your part? I just realized I have another question: there's a catchlight in her eyes; so did you have a big reflector to camera right, or ... ? That's a neat setup, and it appears simple and it looks GREAT for that style. Nov 01, 2009 at 07:19 PM

I love to play and I just created a L shaped bank.. J T Nov 01, 2009 at 07:25 PM

kenyee Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Lauren love the teepee shot...any behind the scenes pic of how the softboxes were aligned? Nov 01, 2009 at 08:25 PM

thorne88 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Lauren These are great! I like the 2nd one the best and then the 2nd edit of the first I would also like to hear a bit more about the teepee lighting setup. This is new to me Nov 01, 2009 at 10:25 PM

jtsmith Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Lauren The best way to describe a Tee Pee effect is to build a V shape pattern with two soft boxes. Place the subject just on the back plain and allow the bank of the soft boxes instead of the center to be your main light source. Just think of an A frame house and place your model on the back patio sliding glass doors but shoot from the front porch with the door open of course. ;-) This works different with deep or shallow soft boxes. I prefer to use this technique with shallow banks. Then you can adjust power on one light to change effects. Obviously this technique is for portraits or beauty head shots.

Another example would be to place your fingers together with your palms apart from each other which is the way I have already described. Then open your pinkie finger and so forth; pressing and keeping your index fingers and thumbs connected to spread and tilt your hands. Design your placement that way with a silver reflector underneath both soft boxes. Your thumbs connected represents your reflector. Your index fingers represent how the soft boxes would touch each other and be tilted. Shoot through the open triangle. This will add a little more directional lighting from your soft boxes if desired. J T Nov 03, 2009 at 07:34 PM

Paul Kierstead Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · Lauren #1 is very competent and well done, but #2 is fantastic; a really really great shot. Nov 04, 2009 at 02:07 AM

Paul Kierstead Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #17 · Lauren Also, would like to add #2 is really great all around; makeup and and model did bang-up job as well. Might tone the smoothing down a tiny bit. Nov 04, 2009 at 02:08 AM

fstop212 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · Lauren First off, these shots are fantastic. Great lighting and angle. Secondly, she is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Nov 05, 2009 at 03:55 PM
