Something about this Orphan Movie Poster really grabbed me. it seemed to really capture the character that little girl has set out to play. Its evil, as well as innocent and sort of arrogant and sneaky. It also is very symmetrical, maybe TOO symmetrical, so i felt i wanted to give myself a challenge, in recreating this poster. Its was more of a reverse engineering lighting test. I was very happy and pleasantly surprised with the results, given the fact i didn't have all the tools i thought i needed. here is the Final Product from the shoot with my really good friend and equally talented as she is Beautiful, Agnosia.
Here is the Run down on the lighting. I will post either a snapshot of the lighting setup or a 2d rendering of the lighting placement
Main/key light was my trusty Canon 580exii barebuld with paper as diffusion on boom arm directly above and a few degrees forward of Agnosia. 48 inch white reflector used for fill from below and equally distant from Agnosia and behind about 1.5 feet for edge lights were 2 160w/s monolights with 30" Umbrellas for nice soft spread but less harsh edge lighting.
thanks for reading and i hope this was helpful for some kind of insight on how i achieved my results!
