When we’re not shooting weddings and events on weekends, we photograph lots of head shots and executive portraits throughout the week. South Carolina Federal Credit Union has been sending their employees over to us for a couple years now. Jessica just joined their team and needed photos for a press release. This image was shot with a giant 6-foot LiteDome softbox to her left as the main light, a medium softbox behind and on her right as a kicker light, a small softbox on a boom above her for a hair light, and an SB-800 right behind her as a background light. I like using small wireless strobes as my background light since it’s wireless and I don’t have to worry about cables showing in the photo if I do a full-length shot. The rest of the light sources were Alien Bees, which are triggered with the RadioPopper Jr (Studio Version) radio triggers. The image was shot with a Nikon D2x (which I use exclusively in the studio), and the 70-200 f2.8.
