Re: Fun with MF images - Part 3
Thanks folks,
The lighting is ultra simple.
One light with a small reflector and barn doors set slightly above and to the left raking the subject at a low angle.
The studio had a black seamless backdrop and the model was on an air-bed that had a dark gray color. Spill on the air-bed was photoshopped to black.
The shot is almost directly into the light and flare was eliminated with a flag.
Exposure was set with an incident meter set copy-board style facing the light and opened up a stop.
As for posterization, I don't see evidence of that actually in the full size image which prints very nicely. It looks just a bit posterized in the posted jpeg, I think, since the mid-tones are actually caused by stippling as the light strikes the slight peach-fuzz and skin texture and the down-res caused some of them to merge.
