Ulorin Vex Does Lady Ga-Ga
I’m still slowly working my way through the images from last weekends shoot. I think I have enough to keep me busy for months 
Obviously the chrome air streamer features very heavily in most of them as it was such an amazing prop 
and this shot is no different. This is another shot of Ulorin-Vex as part of our “Lady Ga-Ga” set (styling is courtesy of Arhseen Qasim). Lighting wise, I was using two quadra heads, one for the main light and one to light the caravan and in both cases, they were bare heads, so no light modifiers were used.
I remain pleasantly surprised as to to the light quality you get from the small heads even without modifiers. and I’m also pleasantly surprised as to the punch they have. For this shot, I was shooting at f22 and 1/250 so really taking most of the ambient light out of the equation and flooding the scene with the lights from the quadras. All good geeky fun The triptych below is a high(ish) resolution version of the 3 images from this shoot which I have posted to date, so if you’re interested in seeing the shots in more detail, then feel free to click away 
I have to admit, apart from working with the lights, what makes this sort of photography easy, is also working with great models. OK, this genre of photography isn’t exactly what Ulorin is really known for, but working with her in this whole setup just lended itself to a successful and indeed a fun shoot. It’s actually perhaps embarrassingly easy.. just meter correctly, stick your camera on a tripod and click away to your hearts content. Pretty much every shot out of the camera is a keeper
Are you using mostly natural lighting or you have some strobes there? As an amateur in the business, getting incites from other photographers such as yourself would be extremely useful.
Do you usually have a 3 strobe setup or two? maybe one? with soft boxes?
Photography is amazing.. and so are the photos you took…
For these shots, the lighting is primarily strobe lighting. I’ve actually over powered which ever ambient there is with the strobes.
In general when I use strobe lights, I like to keep things simple and use just one. But obviously it does depend on what I am shooting. For the shots above, I used two lights, one to light the model and a second to light the caravan. Whilst for location lighting I usually use an umbrella (http://www.thewonderoflight.com/?page_id=121) these were actually just the bare heads – no light modifiers were used.
Thanks for the comments.
