day 35 - split uplight


today i felt like a little uplight. so i set up two reflective umbrellas on either side of me, kept 'em low and angled them up towards my upper body. then i used my boom arm and floated my lumiquest sb-3 about two feet above my head, angled down. set up the camera at a low position looking up so that i look intimidating (also a good technique for shooting bald guys.... less chance for their head to make a strong appearance) and took some shots.

i like how it came out. my arms look huge, partly because of the lighting on them, and partly because they're closer than anything else to the camera.

still though, i've got to get some better models.
