-One of my favorite images of Erin in front of her 250cc Kawasaki we managed to get into the the studio Wednesday. Oh yeah we busted out the fan baby! The lighting was a little more tricky than I was used to. I pulled the grids off the softbox eventually but think they were still on at this point. They were placed between Erin and the bike in order to perform double duty. I needed them to light both Erin as rim lights but also add definition to the bike. I could have lit the bike with the main light as well as Erin but that would have been much more flat. I think the striplights help bring her away from the bike and keep them as separate entities. Not an easy feat with the space we were working with. We had a light gridded and attached to a rafter above to light the background and last but most important a gridded beauty dish boomed above to light Erin. http://flic.kr/p/j74je4
