Ron Shoots

I shot in the Maui studio today with Natina, a new model headed to NYC in just a few weeks. This was our second shoot. The first one was outside, but the last few days have been overcast so we decided to shoot inside. Natina’s mom came along on the first shoot and again today- always great to have a stylist and a proud mom on the set. The mom modeled back in her 20s as well, and we’ve set up a mother-daughter shoot for early December.

Tech Notes

These images were lit with Interfit 1000 lightpanels. The panels are 22 inches square, but only 3 inches thick. (You can see one to the left of Natina’s mom.) There’s daylight-balanced modeling lights as well as strobe tubes in each one. The power can be controlled from full down to 1/32 ratio. I shot with my Canon 1DsMII and 24-105mm lens at 100 ISO around f/11. The center image is with the model behind a translucent fabric so those waves of color are really in the shot. While our Charlotte studio is big, bright and white with skylights, the Maui studio has charcoal gray walls- and its small- only 7×10 feet!
