day 68 - single light with a bit of glow



the idea today was to set up a strobe directly behind me, so that it does that rimlight thing, and then have two reflectors catching whatever spills past me and bouncing it back to illuminate my face. just for fun i made one reflector white and one gold, in order to (hopefully) add some interesting color contrast.

liked what i saw, wanted more. so i set up a gridded gelled flash on the couch behind me to create sort of a behind-glow on the wall. i used a green gel in a moment of "why the hell not?" and it actually kinda sorta worked. i can't decide if i like the couch shadow or not.... didn't notice it on the back of the camera, so didn't have a chance to experiment with it.
