Strobist Article : Michael in Paris

David Hobby , the MAN himself , held a meeting / seminar in paris , and here he demonstrates how he uses the seminar room in a very skilled manner to achieve amazing quality pics... A MUST SEE. Notice how he makes a great example of using LIGHTING IN 2 PLANES . Heres a teaser of the article from strobist .


"The first one, of attendee Michael, touches on a few points that we have talked about lately. The shot is a good example of lighting on two planes, gelling a backdrop for added color, and using a diffuser to alter the beam of a flash. So I thought I would write it up and expand on the concepts a bit.



Shooting in front of a roomful of people is always a different experience than doing an assignment with just myself and the victim subject. (Try it once if you don't believe me.) So to cover my bases I usually take a quick look at the room during the lunch break to get some ideas for the afternoon's photos."


The 1 st photo is the outcome , the second photo shows the environment and the setup , notice the flash back in the backgroung in that alcove by the door used to make the background stand out more...
