El Capitaine--This in another capture do in my studio. The background was a black seamless. The background light was set at f5.6 turned onto the background more in the direction of the way he is looking. El Capitaine my sitter was six feet from the background. For a hair light I used a 9"x36" strip light with both the upper and lower diffuser installed, set at f3.5. The key light is a Paul C. Buff beauty dish with a white interior with the sock installed set at f8 forty inches from the sitters face, camera right. To eliminate the show that would have been under his hat I used another 9"x36" strip light on the floor with an egg create installed set at f5.6. To complete the setup I used a Westcott silver reflector camera left for fill. This image is a contender on Digital Photo Pro. Who knows what will happen, the contest ends September 28th.
