Here’s another image from the senior photo session last week. Notice how Laura is framed by the soccer goal behind her, creating a frame within the frame. I also replace the scoreboard using Photoshop so that it reflected the proper school colors and name.
The setup for the photo was pretty similar to the other one. Laura’s father is holding a large collapsible panel to block the harsh sunlight. The main light is from a strobe positioned camera left, creating the loop lighting pattern on Laura’s face. The accent light from camera right is from a second strobe behind Laura to camera right. It creates separation and emulates the natural sun, but is more controllable and far less harsh.
