Because of all the rain here this week I thought we would stay in the studio. Here is a photo that we shot over the weekend.

We were looking for a winter wonderland type of look and I think we nailed it. We shot this with a typical 4 light studio strobe setup. The key light was off to our young models left about 4 feet away, the fill light was off to her right about 6 feet away, the hair light off her right shoulder and of course the background light behind and off to her left.

With the camera in manual mode I set my ISO to 200, shutter speed to 1/200th second. I then adjusted the flashes output so that I could set my aperture to f/11 to get more detail. I am very pleased with this photo.

After the shoot I cleaned up the photo by removing any anomalies, enhancing the highlight and mid tones. Then softened up her skin and reduced the saturation. Then added a few trade secrets and look what a beautiful image we produced. Please enjoy.
