Mastering Dramatic Portraits: Achieving Stunning Results with a Single Beauty Dish Light Setup
Capturing stunning and dramatic portraits has never been easier with this one-light setup. The Phottix G-Capsule makes it easy to swap between diffusers, beauty dish, and grids all in one handy capsule.
The Set Up
I used a black seamless paper backdrop and a few simple props; skull, latern, cosplay gun etc and occasionally a large red velvet chair. I had my model standing and sitting in various positions using the different props. I had my Godox AD400Pro and the Phottix 85cm G-Capsule on a light stand at a 45-degree angle and up high pointed down at my subject. I also had a large white curved reflector to bounce some additional light onto my model's face. I put my camera on a tripod with a remote trigger so I could use an old hair dryer to blow some 'wind' into my model's hair. Stuck with the K.I.S.S. principle on this one.
The costumes and props I already had in the studio, so we were basically just playing around with what we had to create some gorgeous Steampunk vibes.
