As promised, here is an image of the lighting that was used for the 13 Days of Halloween headshots…
As you can see, its fairly simple. A flash unit in the back with a red gel, lighting up the shelves behind the subject. Another flash is on the ground pointing upward to give that “horror lighting” look .. the same one you get with a flashlight under your chin in the dark. The subject is seated, so they could look up at me with their eyes easily.. which is equally creepy when done right. For those that had props, such as Disorder’s horn here, I had them hold it close to their faces so it could be included in the image.
Feel free to comment with your own blog links to your Halloween photos! I love them all.
