This man is 100 years old! He was born April 26, 1912. He has a computer and is very good on it. He also works out 35 minutes every day.
How to capture this: First you need a 100 year old--that may be a problem. Next you need at least four lights. I consider a reflector a light. You also need a scrim I prefer a two stop. Westcott lighting has a great 6 and 1 reflector kit. It includes a 2 stop scrim. After doing a facial analyst I told my make-up artist which direction he would be facing. For the backdrop light I used a light set at f5.6. Camera right you have a key light set at f8. Make sure you set the light to give your sitter a modified loop. I placed a light on the floor to reach under the bible for detail. Since my sitter is lacking most of his hair the reflection of the key light had two much highlight, this is where the two stop comes in. Place the scrim in front of the key light and move it up so the bottom section of his face is lit but the head is toned down. to finish this lighting arrangement use your silver side of the reflector to fill in the shadows on camera left. Of course there is a lot more to this but this is a good Reader Digest version.
