Behind the scenes | Creative Portrait with different backdrops
| By Flash
In this new series, we are going to create creative portraits with some different simple kinds of backdrops. These are made of thin, transparent material and are available in various colors (shop).

In this photoshoot, the focus is more on creativity than on technique.  I was inspired by a fabric that I had found and started experimenting with it.  I used a fan to bring some movement into the fabric, which gives a cool effect.

Meta data | ISO: 100 | Aperture: f/16 | Shutter speed: 1/125e 

Setup 

For my main light, I use our new Link800 flash with a Silver 24" Octa foldable softbox with a grid. The grid allows for better control of the light distribution and adds contrast and drama to the image. For my background light, I use this together with a standard reflector, grid, and  colour Domes.
