I’ve wanted to try my hand at making this shot for a while now but have been unable to make it happen until my recent shoot with Tumi.
It was actually far more straightforward than I had imagined too.
Tumi was actually sitting on a bench in the street for this shot. If as night though which helped a lot. She was lit by a single 580exII with a grid (1/8″ Honl SpeedGrid) and I’d feathered the light to just kiss the side of her face. She had to sit really still for this shot. The light from the speedgrid is pencil thin and the slightest movement could ruin the shot. Nevertheless, she carried it off very well.
The speedgrid is definitely a must have for any strobist. They’re versatile, quick and very simple to use.
