Thanks so much for your comments everybody! #2804838Petra Roth May 28, 2006
Hi Denise,Thanks for commenting!
My set up was the following:
• White seamless paper as background.
• I had two strobes with medium size umbrellas lighting the backdrop - I could not get the light even with just one light.
• Main light (also a strobe) with a brolly box (a poor man’s soft box) on subject.
•Lighting ratio was 1:2. My subject was metering about f5.6, and the drop at about f8.
For the collage I did the following:
• Opened up a new file with white background in Photoshop 7.0
• Dropped each image (already converted to sepia tone) onto that new file
• Tried to get my subject in each file at approximately the same size
• Used the eraser tool to erase the background on each image as necessary to get the images leveled right next to each other.
I hope this is specific enough. Please don’t hesitate to ask for clarifications!
Thanks,
~ Petra
