Taking my composites up a notch with Erin Erb and her Kawasaki. I'm sure she can't wait to take it to the dirt for real sometime soon. There are over 25 layers in photoshop to make this image work and as with any project I learned some things I might do differently next time. Remember, if you can get it right in camera without photoshop, DO IT!!!! This holds true for portraits just as much as composites. Over all, I'm pretty happy about the finished product here. Strobist info: Lit with beauty dish boomed overhead and camera right to light most of Erin. Stripboxes were placed camera left and medium height to give the rear of the bike detail. Another strip bank was placed camera right about even with the front fork of the bike. There is one more light behind the camera through a large octa for the very important fill. It was large enough so as not to call attention to itself, but without it I would have had a very dark engine compartment and amongst other lost details. http://flic.kr/p/jf9wT5
