Thank you both but I am not working with speedlights, I am working with monoheads (Bowens Gemini 400) and umbrellas. Wondering how to achieve the same look with those. Ring Light adapters mentioned won't cut it (although Bowens does make a Ring Lite adapter for the Gemini monoheads I *just* discovered.


I dunno. Will have to start experimenting next week I guess.


I don't think Ledger is Fresnel. Fresnel shadows are different (not so soft, even diffused Fresnel light is different). I was thinking a strop light or a rectangular soft box with a minor fill (shot on film, underexposed when developing).





I love that 'painting' look. It's stunning.
