Stevie Ray Vaughan
Took a photograph of Stevie Ray Vaughan the other night. We had talked about getting another Stevie photograph into our Austin Events Calendar. I did one a few years ago, but I wanted this one to have a bit more punch, and a bit more edge, and a bit more Austin music feel to it. I decided I would take this image at night, but I knew I would have to get some fill light to light up the statue. I brought out my ABs with the vagabond and the radio poppers to photograph this one. I needed my main light to have a hard edge to it, but not to much of a spread, so I put the first AB on a stand with a 40 degree grid on it to narrow the beam and flew the stand up high to get it to light his face. I positioned the light more on his left side of the statue (camera right) so I would get a nice wrap light effect. After I had that dialed in, it needed a bit more, so I positioned another light behind Stevie (camera left) on a bounce umbrella to give it a nice soft fill from behind with being over bearing. Pretty psyched with the results. Here is the image:
