Nicole and Bass #3

Here's another photo of Nicole and her bass at Kempner Park. This image was taken with the Garten Verein pavillion as the back drop. It was also among some of the last photos we took, so the light is nice and low in the sky opposite Nicole. We lit her with two softboxes crossing to add a little more pop. The pop, however, caused some bad reflections in the bass, so in post I darkened some of the highlights down. 1/100 sec at f/6.3, 85mm, ISO200.

Nicole and Bass #2

Here's another photo of Nicole and her bass at Kempner Park. This was taken early in the shoot. Larry and I back lit her a little with some natural light, then added a softbox from behind and off camera right to add to the ambient. The main light was from camera left. I've lit like this a few times in the past 6 months, and I really like the movement of light from highlight to shadow, then quickly back to highlight for some accent rim light (which you can see on Nicole's left shoulder). 1/200 sec at f/4, 85mm, ISO200.
