A final shot from the studio shoot for K’s model portfolio. The strong side lighting in this image shows off the musculature, while there is also enough fill light to keep detail in the shadows.

Medium size strip softboxes on both sides adding rimlight (powered by Profoto compacts). A fifth compact aimed at the background. Strobes triggered with PocketWizards.

Model K – Portfolio

Published by

Just started creating a new portfolio for male model K. Easy work when the guy’s got a chiseled jawline and a symmetrical face. A white T-shirt and a black pea coat gives a classic, timeless look. Pentax 645D HD PENTAX-D FA645 MACRO 90mmF2.8ED AW S Lighting – Charcoal background. Beauty dish as the main light, rectangular softbox down low for fill, both powered by Profoto Pro-7a. Medium size strip softboxes on both sides adding rimlight (powered by Profoto compacts). Another Profoto compact aimed at the background. Strobes triggered with PocketWizards.

Leia Heider – Portfolio Shoot (Part 1)

Published by

Spent yesterday photographing a new portfolio for model Leia Heider. I always start these shoots with a simple natural look. It’s something agencies and potential clients want to see, and should be updated regularly. Throw on a jacket and you have a classic look, that wouldn’t be out of place in an advertisement for The Gap. The image is toned slightly to give it a different feel to the white T-shirt image.
