Bare Feet in Red, Green and Blue

Red gels, green and blue paint, studio flash-heads.

The setup was fairly straightforward, though the shininess of the wet paint was actually quite difficult to photograph without throwing too many harsh highlights:

  • snooted flash from 10 o'clock for "rim"
  • big shoot-through umbrella around 2 o'clock for "fill"
  • red-gelled flash pointing backwards to a white foam-core sheet for the background
  • wires, radio triggers and optical slaves for syncing the flashes to the camera
  • remote trigger and shooting in tethered mode
