Rachel-Location Shoot by ric woods photography

Want to learn how to make images like this?
Our 2010 photography and lighting courses will be posted shortly.
We are running very small classes ,to avoid missing your place email maree@ricwoods.com and place your name on the list...


Here Rachel is holding a small led light in her hands, this produces this strange blue colour cast on her face. The trick is balancing the ambient (street and sky) light ,the low wattage LED light and the 3 strobes that are lighting her and the background...You can learn all this and more in our "off camera small strobe course".

I really liked this building, the faded signage and rust along with the design which reminded me of my time in France. A perfect setting for Rachel our model.

A very big thanks to Maree the studio manager.( she also is the make up artist) Xanthe lighting assistant/ model and of course William, lighting assistant and soon to be model.


Here you can see the lighting setup.Three off camera strobes, coloured gels on some and fired by radio triggers.

More photo shoots to come.......

Xanthe on the Run


Personal Work: Is really important to me, it keeps me fresh...it's difficult to make the time BUT if I take the time to do it my attitude and Commercial images are better.

Xanthe is one of my favourite subjects, we always make great work.

Nikon D300 24-70 2.8 1/250@5.6 ISO 400.SB24@1/8 50zoom and SB26@1/2 50zoom, pocket wizards.Only photoshop work is edges were darkened...This is the digital shot,I use the digital camera as a proofing tool,my primary image is captured on film Mamyia RB 67 with no digital enhancing, composing and getting spot on exposures are essential on film.
