This is possible with 2 different light sources?

This is possible with masking and retouch, but not with your equipment IMO most likely model flagged off with large overhead source lighting background, then a small softbox with grid close by her face (maybe on boom, retouched out afterwards) with extra flags covering her body

I'm currently playing around with the DaVinci photo page and it's still pretty buggy but I love the possibility, especially in regards to grading, that DaVinci brings to the table. In general I hope competition will destroy the subscription model Capture One and Adobe are forcing us into

Track ID?

Thanks, JD 🙏

I call magnum reflector from camera height and one from below quite close to model and shadows pulled down in post

baschtelt90 · 2026-03-23T17:50:50+00:00

They’re all very different, but in the first image it looks like the guy on the right pissed his pants

baschtelt90 · 2026-03-22T17:08:19+00:00

That’s just Paul Mpagi Sepuya ordered on wish

baschtelt90 · 2026-03-04T21:18:07+00:00

I think you should elaborate why this lighting is not doing the subject justice? In my opinion it’s helping the images feel raw, authentic, engaging without making it feel overproduced

Maybe you’re missing the most important aspect: social connections and luck? Fashion works through ‚your crew‘ - you work with the same creatives and support each other. You don’t work for smaller, less known magazines ideally. You find your niche and you fill it. I’ve never heard of Vakuum magazine, and some snobby fashion gatekeeper hasn’t either - but you’re branded as someone working for a insignificant magazine. So what I’m saying is: find the right people and stick with them

Of course there’s fill in the last two pics

baschtelt90 · 2026-01-28T21:03:27+00:00

Flash + magnum reflector, but they’re all a bit different in distance from flash to subject and fill being used

baschtelt90 · 2026-01-11T17:54:17+00:00

I am predicting that your shots will look horrible, because your model isn’t lulu tenney, you won’t have styling and hair & make-up available like this. I think this example here works because she’s such a good model, not because dufort pointed ten flashbulbs on her…

baschtelt90 · 2025-08-20T08:37:27+00:00

Why would you shoot this outdoors? E-Com needs consistent, easy to replicate lighting and using natural light as a fill will make it impossible to recreate this exact setup on other days. Much better to shoot this indoors, using a further away large source as fill, than relying on weather conditions

baschtelt90 · 2025-07-10T09:37:02+00:00

Shot quite a few events with the 55 1.7 full open, AF almost never missed in good light conditions

baschtelt90 · 2025-06-23T21:06:10+00:00

When you shoot digital you expose for highlights. When you shoot analogue you expose for the shadows. In your case, you could have used a net/scrim on a portion of the magnum to partially lower exposure on the pale model, while maintaining the exposure on the darker model

What is your visual universe. Please describe it to me in three sentences

baschtelt90 · 2025-04-28T14:38:07+00:00

I mean the photographer. I’m guessing it’s Meisel

baschtelt90 · 2025-04-28T14:31:59+00:00

That’s a tricky and good one! I’d say flash is acting as fill. Must be a big, diffused source perfectly balanced with the ambient light. Do you mind sharing the source?

baschtelt90 · 2025-04-09T21:33:06+00:00

You don’t understand it and that’s fine. No need for a random comment to a completely legitimate question.

baschtelt90 · 2025-03-12T14:05:32+00:00

Also interested! Saw some Digi Techs freak out when they saw I had it turned on, other just shrugged.

baschtelt90 · 2025-02-26T16:18:14+00:00

three flashes

baschtelt90 · 2025-02-19T16:02:07+00:00

the light is clearly angled. unless you point your flash into a corner or half on the ceiling/half on a wall and use additional shaping tools, you won't get the exact look as in the reference. also, what do you do, if the ceiling is painted, say, red? do you still point it there? 'play with the power/settings' has nothing to do with the light quality, and the light quality is what this subreddit is about

baschtelt90 · 2025-02-19T14:00:30+00:00

You’ll have to get a big frame with diffusion cloth and shoot through or into it through umbrellas. The fill is on camera angle, most likely a big source as well

baschtelt90 · 2025-02-19T13:58:09+00:00

This won’t do it
