A page from my Monster Lighting Tactics Workshop Guide that I gave out!

I just held my first workshop September 7th. Things went pretty darn good! I only set out to test my ability to hold attention for 3 hrs. It was a success. One thing that was a big hit was the glamour lighting area of the workshop. Everything went great. I just wanted to give a bit of detail about that part of the workshop.

To make s long post short. Look at the light source in the eyes of all the images. Simple. Light directly above (just as in the setup shot) and some form of fill below and viola GLAMOUR LIGHT!

Hey, and to think... I though my workshop was gonna suck! Get ready for the next one, "Monster Lighting Tactics: Natural Light"

Butterfly Light Setup2

Here is what you can get from a setup like this... (Click the image to see them larger.)

Who's this guy you ask? None other than up and coming comedian Joe Fox! See clips of him at http://www.joethecomedian.com/ !

===============================================================

Who's this adorable baby girl you ask? My son's future wif- - - uhhh I mean the M.U.A. (Make-Up-Artists') daughter and husband who stopped by during the shoot! :)

Butterfly Light Setup2, originally uploaded by (Griffin Design & Photography).

Whats to look out for in this setup is that the catchlight is both above and below in the eye. Also notice the beautifully smooth skin! This light really creates a radiant skin look! I guess that's why magazines have been using it since ... the creation of the magazine! What have we learned thus far? If your in a pinch, all you have is 1 strobe (off camera flash or otherwise), an umbrella, a silver reflector and someone to hold it you can get glamour light in the easiest of situations! Its just over and under light!

Slight correction... this was the modified butterfly setup. (I had the light in a 60" inch Westcott convertible umbrella about 8.5 feet above and a bit off to the cameras left. Look into the eyes to see where the light sources are. The coolest part you ask? When you use it in the modified butterfly position you will get a slight shadow side creating a very dynamic portrait!!

You now have another tool in your arsenal!

Now what?... go use it!
