Project Intro
The goal of this setup is to produce bold, fashion-editorial lighting that elevates the contemporary styling. Ready to jump in?
STEP 1
- Mount two Profoto ProHeads with Zoom Reflectors as backlights, positioned opposite each other and aimed at the model’s head, shoulders, and contours—also spilling onto the grey backdrop for a subtle gradient.
- Flag each light with a black polyboard (as shown in the 3D render) to block unwanted spill into the set.
- This light creates that super dramatic vibe.
- Start at power 5.0 and adjust to dial in the drama.
STEP 2
- Mount a 6×6 frame with 6×6 Grid Cloth and position a Profoto White Medium umbrella directly behind it.
- Surround the entire frame with black polyboards and floppy flags (per the 3D render) to block unwanted spill.
- Use this as your global fill to gently lift shadows across the set.
- Start at power 4.0 and adjust to taste.
STEP 3
- Mount a Profoto 2×3″ softbox at a very low angle to camera-left, aimed at the model’s face.
- Use it to gently fill heavy shadows on the face.
- Start at low power (around 3.0) and tweak to taste.
- Camera settings: 1/160 s, ƒ/7.1, ISO 160.
