Maybe not the usual snap of the kids.

Setup:

2 strobes, one with a 105cm varitstar box (main) and one behind a skylitepanel (to illuminate the bg)






C&C welcome.

medusa - is the first thing that comes to my mind.
I think the lighting is near perfect! about the hair I am not too sure, somehow looks a littel scary. How did you do it? Was she lying down? Your kids are really patient with you!

Yes they are!

Jemima was standing, and i had a vacum cleaner on the floor infront her (exhaust blowing out air), at the same time she throw her head back a little.

Yes it does look a little bit scary , mostly because of her hair, but i think the facial expression contribute to it aswell.

Thanx for looking.

I love seeing photos that show creative problem-solving and unusual techniques.
Well-Done!

Thanx Keith!

That's a beautiful image, and a beautiful child as I have said before.
Thanks for the set-up info as well.

Interesting shot, Paul. Thanks for sharing the technique.

Neat shot, Paul, and it looks like it was a lot of fun to take.

As an aside, I can't think of anyone else who would take a photo that uses a high-key background, two strobes, an improvised wind machine, and a model who's being directed, and then put it in the "snapshots" form.

Thanx Guys for looking.

Matthew: True its surely not the "ordinary" snapshot, but the idea came to me 30 minutes before we took the shot, belive it or not i was actually vacum cleaning the apartment.


So in hindsight it might been better to have used the c&c forum.

Thanx for looking.

Great setup Paul... pure genius. The only thing I would probably change is her arms - the look unnaturally straight..

Beautiful Paul, I like a lot her expression...
Great idea as well, thanks for sharing your setup....

It shouldn't be in snapshots, this is a great picture.....

Thanx ST and Irma. Glad you liked it.

Very clever Paul.

Excellent shot, seen in isolation it makes you think about how it is achieved. Great thing about this forum is you all tell us! Well done, very creative and rather humbling that you can come up with and produce this in 30 minutes... :|

Thanx Navis and Chris, it was fun.
