This newly formed group needed a photo for a promo quickly. I agreed to an impromptu shoot at one of the member's home. It was pretty much a quick set-up using a black velour backdrop created for me by My Friend Glen. I love this "backdrop" - its actually two pieces of 4' wide velour fabric seamed together. It will photograph as black as long as the light/s do not reach it.
Lighting set-up:
The key light was the Calumet Travelite 750 with the medium softbox. The Alien Bees ABR800 Ringflash was the fill light and was set up at a very low power level. The other Travelite 750 with a gridded stripbox provided a little bit of separation from the backdrop.
I shot the members individually as well using almost the same set-up, except that the strip light was moved to camera-left behind the subject/s.
