2006.06.04: Touching up Mona's portfolio, adding to Elecia's

This shot is far from technically excellent but it was one of the best shots from this part of the shoot. I wasn't confident in some of my beauty-dish lit shots off the Balcar AQ Pack but at the studio I discovered that the lighting was actually very good but the overall composures weren't very strong.

Elecia pimping her bitch.

Elecia's makeup application glows . . . literally. Setting up the shot was a bit touchy at first but after finding optimal light the makeup and model did all of the work. We also discovered that Mona shoots rather peculiarly head on. Four lights - two symmetrically driven bare 7" reflector shots from behind to highlight the edges of the shot, one 36" octagonal softbox boomed from above with light controlled by a 50 degree Lighttools Soft Egg Crate, one fill light feathered into the shot by a Plume Wafer 140 controlled with a 30degree Soft Egg Crate. Rear lights driven by the Balcar AQ pack powering two Iris head. Front two lights driven by the Bowens QuadX 3000 with QuadX heads.
