I was asked to host a series of strobist workshop at the recent Calumet “Test the very best” day near Ghent some time in June.
The 3 workshops I hosted were “strobist for beginners”, strobist for users” and “strobist for pro’s”. For each and every workshop I had a model which I could use to photograph in order to show some lighting techniques.
During the last workshop (Strobist for pro’s) I had model Louise. I asked Louise to pose “indoor”, in an industrial setting (some sort of glass house), where I demonstrated a technique whereby one uses 3 off-camera flashes in conjunction with color gels.
In this case I used Nikon’s SB900’s in Nikon’s CLS-system. Louise was lit by a Calumet striplight (key light). In the back one notices the second speedlight – which, in the final image, looks like a lightbulb. Indeed, it was gelled to give it some warmth. A third flash was used to lit the background behind Louise.
This is the final result (both in color and black and white)

I also took a photograph of Louise without the flash in the back visible in the frame.

And lastly I had some time to play around with the white balans settings, which creates a completely different color scheme ….
