Hey,Nice to see you guy reading me again,if this is your first time here ,you could register to my free Email RSS feed so you wouldn’t miss the next tutorial.I saw this kind of picture in a post written by a great studio photography named Robert Seale.In his article he wrote about how he photographed Lance Armstrong in his studio.As I don’t like Lans to much (I ride the bike,but don’t like the drugs thing in his sport),but I got the sympathy for his work in the research about cancer.Back to our tutorial,Robert used some big lights in his Lans shootout,180cm softboxes that I don’t thing the most of you guys keep at home to get really amazing shot.I asked my self how can I do it in the budget way that I like so much?So instead of the 180cm octagon softbox I’ll try to use the 30cm DIY shoebox softbox that I made a couple of weeks ago to get “similar” results.
P.S – If you get Lans to your studio I recommend to hide the shoebox softboxes and try something else…
Lets see what we got and how I made the shots.
What I used for the shots:
- Two DIY small softboxes made from shoebox.
- Two tripods (left- studio tripod and right- camera tripod) .
- Flashes triggered by : left flash-cable and right flash-radio trigger (didn’t had the batteries to operate the left side receiver,so used a cable).
- Two Canon speedlites : left-Canon 580EXII and right-Canon 550EX (you can use any flash with manual power settings).
