Tala, Russian/Persian model TV host. 5'-10" tall with heels... 6'-2".
She wants high fashion shots.... so here we go.
Here is my light setup for that shoot.
3 light setup....an AB800 (pink) with a Photoflex Softligher II 43" for key light , an AB800 with a shoot thru umbrella 48" fill (low), another AB800 for background light ([30deg grid). I use foamcore boards to use as flag(black side) and bounce (white side) for fill... inexpensive tool but very effective. I always use a light meter to avoid guess work when doing light ratios. I know people when they just eye ball everything but people who do that are usually really really experienced photographers. When I shoot, I constantly move things around to get variation once I figure out what light ratio I want to shoot with. Key light is one full stop higher than the fill... background is same ratio as key light. With the dark gray background. I added a kicker on camera left and had it 1 stop higher than the key light.
