Rainer; Diagrams/Tableau

Tableau Image:

ISO 200
f 4.5 @ 1/80 second
Flashes on both sides of the model.
(Taken at night.)
Both flashes at the same power, 1/2, but the flash on camera left is a little closer to the model.
The light is supposed to simulate a spotlight on a stage.



Tableau Image Re-Shot:

Thanks go out to Amber for modeling.



Image and Diagram One:
Possible lighting diagram for the above image:
The whole area is well lit, so I thought maybe there was a softbox providing light for the entire foreground (since the overhead light probably only lit it a little bit.) I also thought there may be an additional light on the front of the dancer, simulating sunlight through a window. I placed the strobe on the right side of the diagram since there is a stronger light on the front of the dancer. Since the light on the right side of the image is a tad stronger than the overall light, I would guess the ratio might be 2:1, with the strobe being twice as strong as the softbox. Maybe?


Image and Diagram Two:


Possible lighting diagram for above image:
This is another example where the light is supposed to be simulating sunlight from a window. Since it is a directed but very soft light, I thought it may be a strobe with a white, shoot-through umbrella to soften the light on the right side of the model (camera left.) I also thought there may have been a gold reflector used on the bottom of the models face and mostly on her arms to create the warm tint.





Both of my example images were taken by Joe McNally.
