CIRCLE.SQUARE by Lisa Malanij
7.19.2010
Lisa Malanij is one of my awesome friends back in Cleveland. She also happens to be a pretty awesome fashion designer. This was our second shoot together and I designed a much more complex lighting setup to showcase her circle.square collection. We wanted an edgy and high-contrast look that didn’t hide all her design details in shadows. To achieve that I used two gridded softboxes on either side with flags to keep light off the black seamless. A gridded beauty dish was on a boom directly over head and a bit forward of the model for high key. Finally, there was a gridded strobe behind the model and to the right to provide a subtle rim light.
