Lighting

Something I need to note is how I got the lighting for these shoots as it might be needed in the future. I have a light aimed at a white background that I change the gel of when needed. This is placed off the background and aimed at it but trying to cover as much of the white background as possible. The model is placed well away from the background so that none of the light from the gel hits the model in any way. There is a large polystyrene board (white) placed beside the model, this is to reflect the light coming from the light on the opposite side and bounce it onto the models face to try and get an even exposure using only one light. I also have a polystyrene board places with the black side going along with the light. This is to stop the light hitting the backdrop and making it aim at the model. I also use a reflector under the models face on the side that isn't facing the light. This is just to direct light again into her face and make sure there isn't any harsh shadows created by her nose etc.
