Tonight I shot Katia for my One-A-Day project (1/4/08). She brought some great wardrobe and ideas. We did one shot with a ringflash and a fan. What an awesome 'go-to' for fashion stuff! Sooo not original. But rad nonetheless. You cannot argue with a good photograph. The second shot was our 'Korean war USO gal' glamour shot. I love it. It was lit with 3 cheap hot lights (basically light bulbs mounted in mixing bowls). One was a rim, another was a main, then the third was fill (from the same side as the main) with some diffusion over it. Trying out these simple lights and set-ups are awesome. It's so rad to move away from conventional/contemporary lighting and go with a 'golden age' camera club style. In post I desaturated the image a bit then added a color balance adjustment layer pumping up the yellows and reds to give it an 'aged color photograph' look.
