Project Intro
This setup is all about delivering punchy, fashion-forward light with a sharp editorial edge. Let’s get started!
STEP 1
- Position a 6×6 frame with 6×6 grid cloth on the set’s left.
- Add a Profoto White Medium umbrella on the same side (per the 3D render) to create clean, even contrast on the model.
- Surround the setup with black polyboards to prevent spill across the set.
- Start at power 7.0 and adjust to your surroundings.
STEP 2
- Mount a Profoto 2×3″ softbox at camera-left, low and angled toward the model.
- Use as gentle fill to lift shadows under the chin/neck.
- Start at power 3.0 and adjust to taste.
STEP 3
- Place a Profoto ProHead with Zoom Reflector at the back as a kicker/rim.
- Aim at the model’s outer edge for separation and shape; tilt slightly upward to avoid floor spill.
- Use black polyboards (per the 3D render) to block unwanted spill.
- Start at power 4.0 and adjust to taste.
STEP 4
- Mount a Profoto 5″ Octabox with grid centered directly above the model.
- Use as a toplight for a subtle sheen on hair and shoulders; keep the beam tight.
- Start at power 3.0 and adjust to taste.
STEP 5
- Place a Profoto White Medium umbrella to subtly fill the background.
- Keep output low to avoid flattening; start at power 3.0 and adjust.
- Camera settings: 1/160 s, f/11, ISO 160.
Note: shot with an ultra-wide 8 mm lens.
