The second outfit that Mumtaz brought was a royal blue dress. This needed to be lit much more than the previous red outfit.

I brought in a 1.5 m octabox and positioned camera right and at a 90° angle to Mumtaz. This was a much bigger and softer light than the one used in the previous post.


The grid was removed from the 7” reflector and this was positioned camera left. In this position it acted as a hair light but also without the grid spilled on the background.
At the end of the session, I repositioned the hairlight. I put it on a floor stand behind Mumtaz, shooting upwards straight into the backdrop. This created definite separation and lighting pattern that I would not normally use.


All of the images in this post was shot with my Lumix G9 with settings 1/200s f8 ISO 200 with focal lengths at 24mm.
