For those of you who would like to know how I lit Murray in the image below with his chopper here’s a quick run down.
I wanted to create a more dramatic image, a little more grit, not to much he’s a Pastor remember. so I placed my main light behind Murray slightly to the left of him, you can see how it lights the side of the face, this will etch him out from the background. Another light was placed to the right of the camera to fill in the right eye, then another stronger light placed to the cameras left to brighten up his left side face and make the chrome shine. Simple, no fuss all done within minute’s. Give it a go, if you dont have more than one light use reflector boards, the effect wont be as strong but you will get the idea. Processing was done with Capture NX then post production was done in Photoshop.
