Harbor-UCLA portraits {October 2012}
Here are some of my favorite shots from the Department of Medicine’s annual picture day!
The top two photos show the room before I set up for the shoot, and the bottom two show the final setup with the lighting and the backdrop. I decided to try out a clamshell lighting technique this year, using a translucent shoot-through umbrella directly above the face aimed towards the nose, with a silver reflector underneath the chin. I used a separate light bounced off a silver reflector to light the backdrop. I made a slight upgrade to the backdrop this year, using red velvet curtains from Home Depot. Once again, I shot tethered, this time with my 5D3 and my 70-200 f/2.8 IS.
