Beauty enting

摘要

One of my favorite setups is my version of a beauty headshot.In my books,I describe the basic setup,a 30x40-inch soft box for the main light and narrower soft boxes for hair lights,but I want to show you how to do it with a studio "starter kit." After shooting,you'll use Adobe Photoshop to fine-tune the image to match your own vision.Most starter strobe kits come with several strobe heads and a medium-size umbrella.This image of Brandy was created with three strobe heads,two of them fitted with 30-degree grids for the hair light.Grids are honeycomb devices that fit into a parabolic reflector and narrow the beam of light to a specified radius.The umbrella is a somewhat harsher light source than a soft box,so the effect of this lighting scheme will be even more dramatic.
