Beauty Portrait with a Beauty Dish, 4 lights & Red Gels - Studio Lighting Tutorial

This is a beauty shot that I did with a young model that I had been building a portfolio for. This studio lighting tutorial was being done at the end of a workshop that I was teaching so time was of the essence. In addition to being beautiful, this model has a very calm personality and a wonderful olive skin tone, so my makeup artist decided on some subtle silvers and cyans for the makeup with just a touch of red above the eyes. Because of the models beautiful dark eyes and skin tone, I decided to work with red as the color I would build the shot with. I wanted a contrast between very elegant and upscale, yet very messy. So we decided to create a kind of medusa like hair style. Once the model was done in makeup - we brought her on the set and began the process of wrapping the red tulle and black vinyl. I knew that I was probably going to shoot her straight on because her face is well balanced and I love her eyes, so we were going for an almost symmetrical feel with the materials and the hair. She is lit primarily with a 21” white beauty dish on a 320ws Paul C. Buff AlienBee 800 that is place directly in front of her and above. You can see in this shot that I have a white sock on the beauty dish for a bit more diffusion. From there I added a zebra gold California Sunbounce Micro-Mini reflector for a little warm fill and to add a little more pop to her pupils. This essentially creates a clamshell lighting set-up with just one light. As you can see here, with the beauty dish and reflector, this is where the shot is. So it’s time to add the remaining three lights which are the color accents. The first is the background light which is placed between the model and the black background at a height just below the models shoulders since I am planning on shooting at just about eye level. With the red gel and the power dialed up - you can see how the red creates a glow with a beautiful gradient to black. Then I am going to add strobe number three, also with a red gel and place it directly behind the model aimed straight at the camera. This is the light that will create the red glow in the models hair. I don’t have the ability to create big messy hair with the set.a.light 3D software so you can see the light here. In the real life version, the hair, red tulle and black vinyl hide this light.
