About the Image

This on location fashion photograph was shot in Nesso, Italy on Lake Como. Note the strobe light is very limited in the area it is illuminating. This is due to how close the softbox is to the model and our using the LightTools 40° grid.

Normally the photographer will need to direct the model to move or change. Not this model, she was a great non-stop model that was great to work with. I find that most models from Eastern Europe are great moving models. And Gabby is one of them.

See photo 2 below, it shows the light on the wall turned off. We shot this in the middle of the day. I “Turned it on” in Photoshop. The trick to doing this is not to just turn on the light, it is to make it look real by “Modeling” the light that you would expect when light passes through the glass in the fixture. Also the color of the light will be warmer.
