Tips for High Key Photography (Contains lady images)

Stinky · 8 Feb 2015 at 15:42

So heres my first go at high key stuff.

Running 2 flash units, one behind the model looking at the back ground, set to full power. The other next to me aiming at the model, set to 1/4 power.

Any tips to improve on these? I kind feel they are slightly over exposed

Not far if I'm honest, only about 3foot.

I'm using youngan 622c with 568exii's. Cheap but seem pretty good! Have the light next to me in a 24inch soft box

That's for the thoughts. I'm going to have another go tomorrow. At the moment I've been running with just 2 flashes. As I said, one behind the model, the other next to me. The one behind the model has no soft box on, the other has. I'll try make some more room and move the model away from the backing.

You think I need the one behind her close to her but looking at the bg, and the other close to me again but further back away from the model?

I will have a good look though all these thanks guys.

Im shooting in quiet a small place, i think I'm going to try and reposition everything to give myself more room.

Thanks again guys
