This was a very simple setup. Immediately behind my head, there is an SB-800. It’s pointed directly at my brain-box, which you can see from the light on my shoulders. Some of the light bounces off my black hood and hits the wall behind me.
The other flash is an SB-900. It’s set to 200mm of zoom, and aimed directly at my face from beneath the camera. It also has a snoot and a grid attached, to concentrate the light into a small area, just hitting the middle of my face.
The face-light is fitted with a gel – a thin piece of orange plastic designed to make the flash the same colour as a normal lightbulb. Setting the camera’s white balance to “tungsten” means that this light appears as a warm white. This has the additional effect of turning an un-gelled flash blue, because, relatively speaking, flashes ARE very blue when compared to lightbulbs.
So the blue wall behind me is really a white wall, with the camera fooled into thinking it’s blue!
Some minor contrast tweaks, but everything else was as it was when the shutter closed.
