As you saw from yesterday's blog, it was raining heavily at my studio. One photo we had planned was of a model with out-stretched arms against a clear sky. Since we didn't have the sky, we photographed the model in the studio against a white background and put the sky in later. This actually worked out better because I was able to harmonize the color of the sky with the color of what the model was wearing, and also control compositional placement of the clouds. Gotta love digital photography!

| The model was lit from the area she is facing with a single, very large umbrella. A second light from the left rear lit her hair. The camera was a Nikon D600 with 70-200mm lens. When putting together photos like this it is important to match the lighting to the background scene. The 6' softened umbrella gave a good approximation of daylight, while the smaller hair light was set to a lower exposure, just enough to add some punch to the hair but not so much as to indicate another light source. |
