Fashion Lighting With An Octabank
Sunday, September 13th, 2009I recently got the chance to use a Photoflex 5 foot Octabank and am very pleased with the results. In this photo I attached an egg crate fabric grid on the front ( not visible in this pic) and boy do I love it. The grid directs light only on to your model and keeps it off the background. I put a 30 degree grid on the back light aiming it right at the model as well as into the lens so I could get some flair for effect. Now I wanted to show you this because this is in my condo. It’s not a huge place. The shooting space is about 500 square feet. You don’t always need a huge professional studio to create photographs.

The photo below shows the result. Notice in the first photo you can see I am using gray background paper. With the grid attached to the octabank it keeps all the light on your model. It’s a much more dramatic look.
