This post is about how to add a little extra bit of dramatic-ness and energy to your portrait session, its simple and easily achievable which adds very little time to the flow of things.
This shot was taken in almost pitch black, I had missed the “Golden Hour” and the photos were getting quite boring with no background.
The main light was pretty standard, just a bounce brolly-box. The second light was then placed about 10 metres back with a full CTO Gel, I wanted this light to emulate the sun and give a warm feeling to the overall image.
As you can see, the orange light not only shines the back of the model but also the metal fence.
Its very easy and takes little extra time.
