Class # 6 : Strobes Cont'd

Today in class we had a demo on how to shoot a portrait on a white background using strobes.

The assignment for this week is to work in groups and do a portrait using the same set-up we used in class. For a detailed description of the assignment, please click here.

Even though there was no assignment due this week, Oscar did a shoot on his own in the studio using strobes. For this shot, he had a blue gel on a strobe on the background and a softbox on the subject.
