More single light work, just to add more detail to the previous post.
In this shot I am again using a strobe with an octagon softbox and a reflector as a fill light. This time positioning. Look at the pictures of my subject holding up the paper. In one, the subject is blocking the light creating a shadow across her face and reducing the fill light all in one motion. I am not going to say this is wrong, it might be an effect you might want but it is something to consider – props can modify your light so keep that in mind when posing with light. In the next photo we changed the direction she is holding the paper up. Now the light can hit her, and the paper even acts as a slight fill light.
Again, it is only right or wrong depending on what you are trying to do with your shot.
For the last two we got a little fun threw some paper into the air. Initially I had my subject do it but it was tricky to get the best direction. So, I recruited someone to stand on a step ladder and throw the paper… and it was still tricky to get the best direction. After a little trial and error things worked out.
