At my day job I was asked to take a couple peoples business head shots for press and general office use. Below you will see the setup for these photos and what I got as a result.
Items I used:
- Canon 550EX flash with a 32″ shoot through umbrella.
- Westcott 5 in 1 (white) reflector.
- Rectangular white foam core.
- Vivitar 285HV flash.
- Yongnuo radio triggers.
- Couple of stands to hold things up.
The 550EX was set to 1/2 power and the Vivitar was set to 1/16th power. The Vivitar was sitting on the ground camera right aimed up at the background. The umbrellas back edge was just about even with the subjects nose. The reflector was parallel with the umbrella and the back edge was also even with the subjects nose. I was shooting with my Canon 5D Mark II at 160th of a second at F8, ISO 200 with a focal length of 70mm. Images were processed in Lightroom.
