Rock Camp for Women
Back in March I released my first series of portraits with the Girls Rock Ottawa organization - Rock Camp for Girls. This past June, they held their inaugural Rock Camp for Women, and I was happy to be back taking portraits and camp photos!
This time around, I wanted to go for a different look. I wanted it to have a harsh, in your face, rock n' roll feel. I don't usually have a chance to experiment with lighting like this, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to play.
I chose to use a stark white wall with gritty surroundings, and matched that with a super hard light. I used a Profoto Acute1200 pack with a gridded head and zoom reflector as my main light to cast a very contrasty, directional light (like a stage light). To fill in the shadows a little bit, I used a Profoto Deep White XL with diffusion behind me, with another Acute1200 pack and head combo. Recently I've been using the new Profoto D2 self-contained strobes, and they really live up to the hype. More on that soon!
I used a Nikon D800 with a Sigma 35mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.4, tethered via TetherTools to CaptureOne Pro.
Scroll to see portraits, candid camp photos, and BTS!
