I have a Calvin Klein style shoot event at my studio this coming Friday. Two days ago I did a test shoot with Kate who will be our female model for this event.
The lighting on the image is two softboxes front left and right of the model and two bare lights behind pointing forward to give a rim light round Kate. The background paper is white but looks grey (intentionally) because of the light fall off over distance (That's the inverse square law for the photography geeks out there).
Very minimal work in post production on the image. Simple Lightroom conversion to B&W.
More images from the shoot with Kate can be found here: http://photos.imb.biz/model/shoot/kate (but be warned some of the images are NSFW as they contain tasteful nudity).
If you are in the NW of England and wish to come to Friday evening's event and have a chance to shoot Kate yourself you can find full details on my website: http://www.ians-studio.co.uk/events/event/calvin-klein/ (You can also book to come from there too!).

Thanks for sharing, how about your White background images, how did you get the white consistent throughout the picture (Top to bottom). This is what I sometimes struggle with (post production, so if something can be done during the capture I would like to know the tips.
Are there places left for this please, Ian?
+Tobias Roybal I guess the simple answer is light it evenly. The more complex answer is that for pure white I set the background light to over expose the background about 1.5 stops more than the subject that means it all blows out to pure white. If the corners don't quite make it to pure white LR adjustment brush does the rest. As for the grey version the light on it comes from the two softboxes at the front so it is fairly consistent across the background. The two rear lights are pointing forward and so aren't adding any light to the background.
+Steve Simons Yes still got places available. Do you want me to book you in?
Yes please Ian, I'll see if Anthony's up for it too! :o)
Thanks +Ian M Butterfield I will try that, I was going over 1 stop less versus 1.5 stop more then the subject! So that is where my problem is. Editing a bunch of photos now so you can imagine how much of that adjustment brush is being put to work. Thanks!
