Cops and Robbers (The Glamour Version)

Who says the gangster days are days gone? I still enjoy a nice game of cops and robbers. Especially with the robbers in my neighborhood
Simple 2 light setup on dark grey seamless paper.
Key light a 5' octobox 40 degrees camera left feathered in front of the model. Fill was from a 52x15" strip box camera right and positioned to fire laterally behind the model for separation. Neither light was aimed directly at the model. Rather the lights were positioned to allow the "Bloom" of the light to light the scene. As light moves it expands equally in all direction and it is this bloom that we use in the studio to create a directional light from very soft light source. This technique allows us to give the impression of "wrap around lighting". This term however is an inaccurate description of the result. Given that light can not actually bend it can not wrap. Thus what we generally refer to as wrap around lighting is actually the phenomenon of this bloom created by the equal expansion of light in all directions. Coupled with the effects of the inverse square law you get graduated light densities on opposite sides of an object as the light expands and diminishes creating the illusion of the light "wrapping" but what it is truly doing is enveloping"

Beautiful, Bobby! I also very much appreciate your explanation of the lighting. Very easy to understand. Now, if I can only apply what you are teaching. Not to worry, I am getting there.
