Took this of my eldest son today. My aim for this image was to create that moody teenager look. I worked with a key light first and then brought in a fill to light the shadows a bit.
I am a relative novice with any studio work and off camera lighting , and just working through strobist lighting at the moment. My key was to the left of me as I wanted the fall off to be across his face, and the fill
wasn't quite on the lens axis, but right next to me on the right.
Pertinent questions are -
1. Does the fill have to be on the lens axis?
2. How do I make my white background white? I know I have to light the background, but can it be done with one light?
3. I am using speedlights at the moment (ad200, TT685's and godox x1t trigger). Would it be easier to use studio lights?
If so can anyone recommend a good starter set that won't break the bank?
Finally, please critique, as I want to learn and get it right. TIA Terry
