Triple flash

I often use just 1 flash; it’s easier and still looks very good 90% of the time. But being a studio makes me restless now & then to change settings again. This was taken using three flash heads, and I like the reflections on Gaelle’s dark skin. Her look makes the picture complete.

When shooting on a gray background, the nice thing is it is easily detachable in Photoshop to subtly adjust. Here I went for quite a bit of subtle post-processing : ProRetouch from Totally Rad (not affiliated but I love their subtle actions), then in the second pass a Sean Archer action. The latter gives some subtle extra lights and less smooth background (actually requiring you to more or less shoot on a 50% gray backdrop) . With lovely model Simone.

These are a few of my favorite things. Next to hair blowing in the windmachine, almost destroying the studio paper that is. 😉
