Class Work - Fun on White Seamless !

In-Class White Seamless Set-Up.  Students had a blast staging a 'fashion shoot.'  Dressing up, directing, and shooting together. Team work was key throughout the semester.  One Speedotron pack with two heads crossed on the background.  Two 4x8 white foamcore sheets kept the background light from spilling onto our subjects.  In front two large softboxes formed one continuous bank of light and lit our subject from camera left. Each softbox contained one dynalite head which was plugged into one more pack.  The light in the background we metered to be one stop brighter than the front for a clean white silo. We filled the right side with another large white card. By shooting low we were able to produce a 'mirror' effect on the floor.  The background light on the white seamless reflected onto the tile board we put on the floor.  4x8' tile board is available at Home Depot for $12 per sheet.  One of our students volunteered to go with me and purchase a couple sheets to demo in class. She then took it home to use in her new home studio she is building to photograph her family, an ongoing documentary project.  Above is student work shot on set during class.
