Hello all, I am looking to create some hard light for fashion imagery. I have been using a metal dish reflector, however it gives me a bit of a double / messy shadow. I have been trying to research but I can't quite find the answers. Do I need to use a fresnel? or a spot reflector? I need the shadow to cover an entire full length of a models body (not just portrait). If I am using something like a fresnel/spot, what do you recommend doing so that the rest of the image is lit properly? I will have another light with a softbox. Also, since I am using off camera flash, where do you recommend I place the light stand? I always have issues trying to line up the actual light, myself/my camera, with the model when trying to do this exact technique. Perhaps I need to use a boom arm? I find that I am always needing to stand exactly where the light stand is. I will be shooting against a wall (not a backdrop) I will attach a few examples of the shadow/light I am trying to create . . . Any insight / ideas would be appreciated. PS - I shoot on a medium format camera with no hot shoe (or cold shoe), so attaching a light to the top of my camera is not really an option atm.

Hi Bill, Yes you are right that is Carolyn Murphy. I will be shooting on film, so that part isn't a problem. I found some more of the campaign images here: Photos PETER LINDBERGH Still trying to work out the lighting. Wondering if there are black poly boards at her sides...?

Hi all, I have recently had a client ask me to do something like this (old ad campaign). I will have some time to test it out but do you guys have any ideas or tips? I usually use more simple lighting set ups, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Images removed. Do not post images that you have not made.

I don't know the owner

Does anyone know what camera this is?[ATTACH=full]1374899[/ATTACH]

Hi all, I had a quick question on how to achieve this very sharp and tight shadow outline? Login • Instagram Login • Instagram YMC Brings Brush-Stroked Camouflage, Premium Leathers & Muted Palettes to SS20 I have tried with bare bulb off camera flash in the studio but it does not seem tight and sharp enough. I have positioned the flash almost in the centre front of where the model is standing (I have found this hard to also position myself in the centre) I am assuming the subject needs to be quite close to the backdrop or wall.. Also when I have tried I don't think I have got the flash low enough (light stand wouldn't go low enough) to make the shadow go all the way to the top of the model's head... Is this correct? Any tips would be appreciated !
