When I was discussing shooting my last roll of film with Tim
and how the light meter told me how to correctly expose the shot but when they
came out the light was too harsh and this was not what I wanted he give me some
helpful advice. As you only get 12 shots with the medium format it could get
really expensive if it keeps going wrong. He told me to take the digital back
for the Hasselblad with me to the studio, set my lighting up and shoot using
the digital back. The reason for this was to get the lighting and the expose
right before I used the roll of film. This was such a good idea as all my
images on the film came out exactly how I wanted and the lighting was perfect
for the look I was going for.
The lighting I had was one light facing the model using a
soft box so that it subtly lit her face. But I also had a light behind the
model aimed at the back of her head. The reason for this was to hopefully get
the “old Hollywood” glow like famous film stars had in the day! I’m glad I chose
to do this as in the past Rachel’s jet black hair got lost in the background. This
way it stands out and you can see were her hair ends and the background begins.
