First Studio Trial

Finally I got my first studio gear settled and found a volunteer who was brave enough to stay in front of my camera. I decided to go for a set of two Elinchrom BXRi-500 strobes, inspired by a review from Scott Kelby on his PhotoshopInsider blog. Here is the link. As light shaping tools I used different spot reflectors, one Rotalux octagonal 135cm and one Rotalux rectangle 90x35cm soft-box.
Julia, a colleague from Germany who spend some weeks here in Taiwan, agree to be my first ‘guinea pig’  in my studio. We both had no make-up experience for studio lighting at all and we decided just to skip this part and concentrate on light and pose.
By trying a lot of different setups, poses and a bottle red wine we had a lot of fun with my try and error approach till late night and we was somehow satisfied with the outcome.

Now I’m looking for the next volunteer and hope there will be more photos on my blog soon…

Here some more photos from my first studio session. ->Julia
