day 61 - mirror universe



for this shot i wanted to have two images of my face in the shot, one showing the lit up side, and one of the shadow side of my face. my first thought was straight on light from the sb-3, but that was too directional, and not soft enough. so then i aimed the sb-3 up at the ceiling for more softness. i think overall that worked out well. as a last touch i clamped another sb-28 to a banister railing board at the top of the stairs, gridded it and used it for some rim / separation light.

i think it came out well. it's a sophisticated look, with a lot of light falloff and light areas next to dark areas. and it's good to know that my glowering abilities haven't diminished with age.
