Reflective Lighting! (Patreon)

It’s always interesting to photograph chromed elements, and this was no exception! :P

For a good chunk of this photoshoot, I used my LED lamps to bounch soft light off of different surfaces to illuminate the fig without overdoing it, or reflecting light in unwanted ways!

For example, with the far right image, in a way of lighting the photo without having the reflection of my entire studio on her helmet, I used white paper to bounce a light source from behind her, to in front of her (see attached GIF flie) :)

This light not only reflected, but also could cast a shadow of the Tower of Fate over the back of her, essentially creating a sharper silhouette than what you could normally get from a much more rudimentary set-up :)
