5 Light Old Hollywood Style Glamour Setup

Фильм және анимация

One of the themes I love to explore over and over again is “vintage modern” - meaning I love to take elements from the past and infuse them with a modern twist.
For this shoot however I really just went all in with the vintage look.
The model for this shoot actually was the inspiration as she is a professional burlesque/pinup model and just has that “vintage style” look to her.
Here’s a break down of the lighting:
💡 5 Light setup:
1 - Main light: Magnum Reflector with light #5 in paramount position
2 - Background light with 20 degree grid
3 - 1x4’’ strip softbox - illuminating her hair
4 - 1x4’’ strip softbox - illuminating her hair
5 - Beauty dish + grid - fill in the shadows on the face
Final image: 10:10
Now you can definitely get away with using less lights than I did here, but as you can see in the video, I built the scene light by light to get to my final desired look using a Magnum reflector as my main light which helped create that high contrast look but can be a bit more flatting on the skin.
You can get some great results with even just a single light (shameless plug, checkout my class 👉One Light Artistry: lindsayadler.photo/onelight) with shadows and a hard light source.
Post Processing:
I wound up turning the photo black and white from the original (4:42) and did my usual bit of ‘finessing’ the photos by cleaning up stray hairs and minor retouching. You can see the before/after at 7:03.
👇 So what did you think? Did I nail that "modern vintage" look? Is this a style that you think you'd try? Drop a comment below and let me know!

    I think my absolute favorite part of this decon is you walking through the CULLING. One of the most tedious, difficult parts of a shoot that can make one feel like an imposter is getting the posing and framing absolutely just right. In the case of some subjects it can take HOURS and tons of experimenting to just get a select few good shots. It gets tedious for a subject but also makes one start to feel the imposter syndrome of not knowing what you're doing. Seeing someone as incredible as you going back through the very extensive process it took to get the shot is so inspiring in that it's never the easiest thing in the world - for anyone!

I know when I want that classic little slit of light across the eyes I will sometimes use a cookie or flags but every now and then I like to use a narrow mirror I got from a piece of wall tile and reflect the light back onto the model. Gives nice crisp lines.

    Super stuff! As a vintage hollywood fan Im getting ready to work through your new Hollywood Recipe guide. I noticed your camera setting of 400 ISO. As a speedliight guy I tend to be at 200-400 ISO to put less strain and drain on my lights and even on my old 700D crop sensor the images are nice and crisp and fairly low noise. Im wondering if there is some unexpected benefit Im not aware of for using your more modern noise free camera at ISO 400 even with your powerful strobes - why not 100 ISO? Kind regards John London UK

    Sure! Same as you for the most part. Honestly some modifiers (like optical spot, grids) have to be somewhat high output of strobe required and I dont like to max out the strobe for heat purposes. Other than that, I just think the 400 is clean enough, so why not save the strobes from always having to be high output!

I'd recommend checking out educators who just focus on retouching then combine the techniques. :)
