To followup on my Beauty Photography Lighting Workshop at LACP, this is 4 of 4 short and sweet tutorials that I hope you enjoy.

These posts will cover use of Interfit Photographic lighting equipment. As you know, I am an Interfit Brand Ambassador. And just a note, as an Ambassador I try out, use, and post about their products, but I am not paid to do so. I stand by their products and love the equipment, as well as the company and the people behind the products.

Beauty Post 2: Beauty Lighting w/ Gel Rim-light

Beauty Lighting can have a little play, don't you think? Here we pull out all the stops with an interesting patriotic backdrop from BackdropOutlet, Clamshell lighting, and a blue & green gel on the rim-light. Key-light centered front & above the subject, smaller fill-light below, and a strobe with barn-doors on the rim-light that had two gels sandwiched together. I added the color to the rim-light to give it some cohesion to the backdrop and the blue in the flag.

Lens: Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L series

Settings: ISO:100, 1/180th @ f/4.5

Adding the gel to the the rim-light really made the image pop. Here I make use of 3 Interfit S1 Monolight strobes . Key-light in front is fitted with an Interfit foldable Octabox , fill-light below and front with a Foldable Beauty Dish , and the Rime-Light is an S1 with barn-door set using the included green & blue gels.  These S1, 500w HSS AC/DC powered strobes are only $749.99 currently down from $999 a unit, already half the price of the competitors. Use my discount code for an extra 10% off EMERY10
