 LIGHTING

lighting set-up

There were two lighting setups used here. The primary setup is two back rim lights.
We utilized two Profoto D1 Air 500 watt strobes and two zoom reflectors with barn
doors attached. This allowed us to narrow the beam of light to just highlight the sil-
houette of our subject. In the second setup we added a main light to the subject to
give front illumination. Again we used the Profoto D1 Air 500 Watt strobe, but our
main light modifier was a Westcott Zeppelin 47in.
