Some images from a promotional shoot for a yet unnamed music group. The plan was to deliver black and whites so I shot tethered to Capture One with the black and white preset enabled. Capture One still seems to be the quickest and easiest to use software for tethered shooting. I’m excited about the tethered shooting capability in the Lightroom 3 Beta, but I’m hoping that the transfer speed will increase in the shipping version. I could go on and on about Lightroom and can’t seem to stop telling fellow photographers how much I love the luminance noise reduction slider…but I digress.
For this shoot I kept the lighting pretty simple. The main light was a gridded beauty dish high and to the right for most of the shots. A small gridded softbox was place directly opposite this light, just out of frame. Occasionally I would pull out a third light with a 10 degree grid to give some detail to the instruments as seen in the photo below.
