Using MULTIPLE strobes - creative examples - post yours!

Thanks for the input on the background image guys... I guess I thought it looked boring straight... so I tilted the camera for a few... Here's what it looks like straight. To me, it has more impact at an angle, but I definitely see where you guys are coming from.

I think you need to boost your contrast on the guy.

It is a bit flat compared to your background.

Not that I don't like it, but I don't see where/how it was done, or why it would need more than 1(if there were multiple lights).

EDIT: I'm talking about the 2 images of the tattooed man

Strobist info: 1x Elinchrom Quadra camera left, infront of models face but slightly behind at pwr level 4 shot at f10. Second Quadra behind model just has a slight kicker in a 100 Deep Octa.

Hope that clears it up for you

To answer his question, without the 2nd kicker light (even if its set really low) the man would of bleed straight into the background.

Just because you use multiple lights doesn't mean you have to blast them all, being subtle can be quite interesting sometimes.

Well aware of that, thanks.

Nice idea, but the photoshop is a little bit over the top for me.
