I'm dying to shoot on the pedestrian bridge here in Nashville at night with the skyline lit up in the back. I totally want to learn how to light like this.

The strobe I am sitting on in the first set up is hitting the model's black boots directly. If I didn't use it, the black books wouldn't have the detail I wanted to show. For your second question, using smaller modifiers has nothing to do with anything. I'm not sure I understand your question. I light for the clothes and I just use an umbrella or soft box and that also lights the models face. If the model is really tall I will use a second light or a reflector to illuminate for example black boots or really dark jeans or a dark dress. I hope this answers your question. If not just comment back and maybe state your question in a different way ? Thanks for your questions Myles ! Hi Myles !

In the first set-up featured in the video, are you bounce-filling or catching spill with the strobe that you're sitting over? I guess it brings up the question: when using smaller modifiers will you dedicate an additional light or fill board to the clothes on a commercial shoot? Just to ensure the clothes have good detail compared to the spectral light hitting the model's face. And are you doing the same thing in the shot with her hair pulled back? Seems like there is additional shadow towards the bottom of her dress hem. Thanks! Hey man, Great video and awesome shots!

Yes there are many times I shoot with available light. Check out this post http://jasonchristopher.com/blog/2010/03/25/window-light-beauty-photography/ Also if you look through the archives there are many posts where I talk about how I use natural light for my fashion photography. For instance, sometimes I just wear a white t-shirt, place the model so that the sun is behind her and the bounce off my shirt gives just enough light to fill her eyes and clothes. You can also use reflectors, white foam core etc. Thank you for your post ! Remember, I teach this and much more when you take my private photography workshop. This is the link with more information for you. http://jasonchristopher.com/workshop.htm Hi Rahmat,

I think the new Fashion+Light site is the start of something big, and I'm glad you were there at the beginning of it all. Thanks for the plug and the content!
