Mnt Biker Portrait

August 1, 2011 • Blog, Photo Shoots

Busy shooting for a number of projects right now.  Also experimenting with Elinchrom Quadra High Speed Sync, stay tuned, should have the results shortly.

Needed to do a portrait of a mountain biker the other day.  We needed an edgy  commercial look, so we went with three lights to start.

We had a bright blue sky day, so we put up an overhead silk to cut the sun down.  Then added two strip banks, one on either side, and a small octabank as fill on his frontside.  After shooting a few frames, we decided to turn off the fill light octabank, and instead just used the two strip banks for the shot we liked the best.

Tech: Nikon D3, 24-70mm F2.8 lens, 1/125 at F16, ISO 100. Elinchrom Rangers strobes with A heads used, two strip banks and one small octabank.  Skyport wireless system triggered the lights.
