What Equipment Was Used
In this image we run you through replicating a natural light look indoors for those rainy days. The image was shot indoors using a two light set up to replicate a natural window light. The key light (window) light was created by bouncing a Profoto B1x bare bulb into a 6x6 scrim Jim through the window. In this case because the window frame was in shot the blinds were used to create another source of diffusion to make the light a tad softer. The inside of the house was quite dark so an additional light was used to wrap the highlight and add a fill and lighten up the right side of the model. For the fill light a Profoto D1000W was bounced into the corner of the ceiling with a 2x3’ Profoto Softbox for a nice soft light.
For those rainy days rent out all the gear below to achieve this look.
