One of the greatest things about being friends with talented people is that they always need promo shots. They are also clever enough to want every updated image to look creative but slightly different from past shots, so as to keep their look fresh. For the pic above Sarah Michaelson (aka Mama Cutsworth) and Caitlin Brown (aka Mizz Brown) were already late getting an image to the Winnipeg Jazz Festival. About an hour after getting together we had a pretty neat concept, a floor full of records and a decent lighting setup (even a lovely lighting assistant). Sometimes its amazing what a few minds can whip together.
As for the lighting... I had a strobe shooting through an umbrella at camera right as well as a bare flash as rim light at camera left to spice up those shadow areas. The background (or actual ground in this case) is lit with a mix of spill from the umbrella and underexposed tungstin ambient.
