Shot this earlier this year, We wanna create an Image with a lil bit of Valentine's and Chinese New Year based on a story of both Mei and Jet. This Images were published in Breeze Magazine February Issue. When I heard about I'm gonna shoot in a Cupcake Joint, Immediately I thought about a Cake Shop which usually have a Warm light coming out from the Window. [ABOVE] I also thought about a cafe which I experienced in Europe, hanging out, reading papers while sipping their Freshly brewed Coffee outside the joint. That's how We got the Ideas and Inspiration.
[ABOVE] after getting all the Chairs and Tables out. We placed a SB-900 with a CTO inside the shop to imitate the Warm light that I talked about earlier. Then We have Dino to sit down and place another SB-900 on a Ezybox just above him.
[ABOVE] after placing both the Lights, We invite both Mei and Jet to sit. After a couple of test, We're ready to create some images.
[BELOW] few images below, We place them just inside the shop by the Window. Using the Big Window as the Light Source.
[BELOW] This is pretty simple, you can probably see some light sources here, Warm light as the Back Light. Another Light by the Counter to illuminate the Delicious Cupcakes. Then a SB-900 on a Ezybox just above Jet, Camera right.
We then headout to our second location, Metrojaya Suria Sabah.
[ABOVE] The setting here pretty complicated but When I think about it again, it is actually pretty straight forward. We placed a Speedlite on my right to illuminate the Background, then another Speedlite with Ezybox on my left as the main light. Then Another Speedlite with the Lumiquest act as the Fill-Light. Checkout the results below.
Hope that somehow give a lil bit of Idea on your next Strobing Session. Thanx so much for your time in reading this.
