Studio Look On Location

I was out shooting with a musician/model named Caitlyn here in Nashville the other day for some of her promotional material when we stumbled on this really cool orange wall that I thought would really be great for her to use. The positive of the location was that the sun was coming through the gap in the wall to provide a really amazing hair light. All I needed to do was bring in a flash to fill in her face which had fallen a little dark. I did this by using the Fstoppers Flash Disk.

The downside was that the wall was separated into vertical strips. I really wanted to have a horizontal crop but the wall made that very difficult to achieve due to the fact that each section was only about 3 feet wide. What I ended up doing was shooting vertical and extending the backdrop horizontally in photoshop. Below is the final image as well as a BTS shot of my setup.

Great job, love the BTS stuff showing how other photographers make do.

Thank you, I'm going to try my best to share some more of it!
