The lovely Tomoko was my third model for my test shoot with the new Pentax K3. I wanted to create a more classical portrait, that would show the balance between light and dark, but still retain detail in the shadows.
Model – Tomoko
MUA – Summer Johnson
Pentax K3
Pentax smc DA* 55mm 1:1.4 SDM
Lighting – Charcoal background. Beauty dish powered by Profoto Pro-7a as the main light. Small softbox as low fill. Medium size strip softboxes on both sides adding rimlight (powered by Profoto compacts). A fifth compact aimed at the background. Strobes triggered with PocketWizards
Nicely done. I just purchased a K3 myself and have only had one day. Inspiring.
Thanks, it’s a great camera. Have fun with yours!
