To create a glamour portrait (photo-<br />
graph 3-11), I quickly set up a black<br />
velvet background and added a few<br />
props—as well as an additional accent<br />
light to Pam’s left. This single monolight,<br />
used to direct the light onto<br />
Pam’s hair, was fitted with barndoors<br />
(to stop spill on the background), a 40degree<br />
grid, and a white diffusion sock.<br />
The addition of this light, powered to<br />
record brighter than the main light,<br />
added to the fashion/glamour mood<br />
desired for this image. Keep in mind<br />
that my main light and fill light remained<br />
the same as in the previous set<br />
scene.<br />
PHOTOGRAPH 3-11. A simple change of<br />
background and clothing was coupled<br />
with great posing and the addition of one<br />
light to create this striking photograph.<br />
Notice that my exposure did not change<br />
from the last image. SUBJECT: Pam Solman.<br />
CAMERA: Nikon D300, Lexar media. SET-<br />
TINGS: AWB, manual mode, 1 /200 second,<br />
f/8, ISO 200.<br />
