Jewellianna
Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 12:33PM Dancers are some of my favorite photographic subjects. Having attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas, I gained an appreciation for dancers early in life. You could always tell the dancers in school by the way they carried themselves when they walked into a room.
I recently had the privilege of photographing Jewellianna. She needed some images for an upcoming audition, so I set up an impromptu studio space in my family room using a large roll of grey seamless paper.

I used a 2400 Watt/second Speedotron pack and two heads. I set one up in a 5' octobank softbox with a grid camera left to serve as the main light. On the other head I used a small 7" reflector and a narrow grid placed camera right, behind the subject, to serve as an edge light (notice the side of her head and neck). I also used a Nikon SB-600 speedlight, camera right, near the camera to serve as fill. Both the Nikon Speedlight and the Speedotron pack were triggered wirelessly via PocketWizards.
