Light diagrams for dancers

1
The client was looking for a "Gritty Look" and we decided to use a brick wall to look like you are backstage and tossing in the lights with gels in the background to add to the effect.
"Our dance department needs some photos for a poster to promote the department," was the request.  After talking about the request and what they wanted in more detail I realized we were going to wing this one.

I packed up in my van all my lights and backgrounds.  I had most of my cameras and lenses with me.

They wanted gritty and edgy in one photo.  Then they wanted other traditional photos for ballet.

Here are two from the photo shoot with the diagrams of how I used lights in the photos.  My next blog I will show a couple more photos from the shoot as well.

The is the lighting diagram for the photo above.

Do you have a favorite from these two?  If so why did you pick it over the other one.  What would you change if you could on these photos?  There is always a place to comment on these blogs below.

This is more of a classic look and I liked the moment a lot.  The columns were in a lobby and we decided to use these to help set the mood.  Used a warm gel to also help convey a warm moment.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
