Landon and Jordan ~ Their New Moon Poster

i had a wonderful time working with Jordan and Landon on this project.

we created the Twilight photo that i wanted to do... it was a challenge for me to see if i can light up subjects the way the master Joey Lawerence can...

it turned out i was able to recreate some interesting light, don't know if it is exactly like what master joey did but for me, i was happy with the results.

this shot was done with 4 lights.

2 - 15inch softboxes
1 bare speedlight behind subject
22 inch beauty dish with AB1600

all triggered by cactus systems

all speed lights were @ 1/2 power
alien bee was about 1/3 power

I think you did a great job Pham.

the couple looks great, nice lighting. how about the background, was this pulled in in PP?

you and your twilight stuff

I'd blur the BG a little so it doesn't look edited in. Other than that = cute

I agree with Misha right now it looks pretty edited in. I would work on making it less so. The tree behind the boys face looks like it could use a little fog on it it is too stark compared to the others. Great job over all looks like a fun project.

to help with the edited in look... what if you made the shadow and dark areas on the couple darker...?

Nice shot. Blurring the background might help, but the direction and temp of the light still don't match background. It'll still have that edited looked just with a blurry background.

the girl's wardrobe. it looks too casual, it would have added if she was in a black dress or something...it takes away ALOT

Great mood to this shot!

Looks cool Pham. If I remember correctly, from the first series, this backround is real. Did you play with other gradients or hues?

great work, as always!

looks great

good B movie poster.

Wow awesome shot!

great lighting and edit
