edwin1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 <p>Hello,<br> I am very interested in knowing which lighting does Emma uses in the second portfolios:<br> http://www.emmatempest.com/<br> Is this Flash or HMI (continuous)? How does she have this cinematographic effect???<br> Thanks...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 <p>It could be either type of lighting. The main light is very directional and all lighting is well controlled with modifiers. It does remind me of Hollywood lighting, and you would do well to invest in one of my favorite books that takes Hollywood glamour shots and deconstructs the lighting. It is a tremendous learning tool: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0817440208?ie=UTF8&tag=credify&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0817440208">Hollywood Portraits</a> <img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=credify&l=as2&o=1&a=0817440208" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_earussi1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 <p>Good use of spot lights on some of her images.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin1 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 <p>I think she used generaly two lights (maybe some large softboxes with blue and red gels), and in some a directional light (spot) in the model´s face. What do you think?<br> Edwin</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_aceti Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 <p>Wow, outstanding work. My guess is 2- 3 strategically placed spots on most. Odd website, just a mobile number at the main opening page hidden at the bottom.<br> A typical example of letting the photos do the talking.<br> Thanks for sharing</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry thomas photos Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 <p>1. why does it matter to you if she used strobes or HMI lights?<br> <br />2. why do you call this "cinematographic"? (BTW, I work on movie sets shooting production stills.)<br> <br />All she is doing is using gels over WHATEVER lights she is using. No diffusion with umbrellas or soft boxes. Very hard lighting. AND beautiful models. Plus her vision.<br> <br />Here is a suggestion: take whatever lighting you have, stick on some gels and shoot. Soon you will develop your own techniques and style. Emulate but don't slavishly copy. Be your own person.<br><b>Signature URL deleted, not allowed on photo.net per the Terms of Use.</b> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
