Weekend Composites

Well last weekend was labor day weekend and I needed some more backgrounds, so Michele and i went downtown Windsor on Saturday and i took more photos. The week before that, we went to Grand Bend, Ontario. I got one photo i really liked from that weekend somewhere in a small town. So i went and picked up my Nephew Robert on Sunday and i set up a studio in the living room and did a shoot for three backgrounds i picked. Robert is awesome to work with, when i explain what i want him to do, he understands what i'm trying to achieve with my backgrounds and he is very easy to direct. It sure makes the session more enjoyable in studio photography and he's pretty natural at it.
The first photo was a 3 light setup, two 24 inch softboxes from behind and on both sides about 5 feet high and a 40 inch umbrella directly camera for fill about the same height.  And I used 50% glycerin and 50% water to get the sweat look on his face.
The second photo was lit with two lights with only one 24 inch softbox from camera left, 5 feet high and 40 inch umbrella above camera at 5 feet high, and the third photo was the at same angles but lowered because he was kneeling down, almost sitting on the floor. I then used photoshop to remove Robert and place him in the backgrounds.
