This week I was in the studio with Cat van Dark<\/a> and Lennart<\/a>. The shoot concept was to shoot a few portraits with very minimalistic lighting. I’m a bit fan of narrow depth of field portraits and wanted to create a lighting style that had a low key look.<\/p>\n

I based the shoot around a low powered Bowens<\/a> 200ws flash head with a 60x80cm soft box as key light. The only other light source was Bowens 400ws fitted with a standard reflector, barn doors, honeycomb grid and colour gels for atmosphere. We were shooting between f1.4 and f3.5 depending on the desired depth of field.<\/p>\n

To finish the night off I went for some clamshell lighting with a 80x60cm soft box on top and a 60x60cm soft box on the bottom. The separating between the softboxes was only just big enough\u00a0 foe me to shoot through. I got up to the minimum focus range of my 85mm and shot at f8…<\/p>\n
