AVANT-GARDE BEAUTY PORTRAITS

WITH LAURA DARK PHOTOGRAPHY

BACKDROP

Hey guys, it's Laura. I'm here today to shoot with my new BackgroundTown background. It is an 8x10 fleece backdrop called Cocoa Artistry Window 1. We just got it in, so I got my lights set up.

LIGHTING

I am using my Neewer Vision4 lights. These are 400 watt. I have the main light at half power, and on it I have a 24 inch beauty dish. On my boom, I have a second Neewer light that is at 25% power. That's going to be our backlight fill light for the backdrop.

CAMERA SETTINGS

So as we're getting ready to shoot here, I've got my Canon R, and we are set at 100 ISO and 125th of the second, F8. We are going to go ahead and bring our beautiful model Robin out, and we are going to shoot some frames here.
