Portrait Photography How To

In this episode of the Last Frame, Joe Edelman demonstrates how to capture some great fashion photos without a lot of expensive gear. As he explains in the video below, all you need is a single strobe, a 50mm lens, and a couple “gobos” or light modifiers you can easily make yourself.

The ever-exuberant Edelman provides a few simple diagrams illustrating how to pose your model, position you light, and set up your gobos. Then it’s just a matter of taking a couple test shots and adjusting the position of your strobe and light modifiers until you achieve the look you’re after.
