With the photo above I was trying to achieve something similar to the Ben Hassett image in my research. My key light has a snoot attachment. It was positioned to the left and slightly above the model, metered to f8. The light behind the model was metered at f16 as i wanted the hair to be a little bleached out. This might have worked better if the model's hair was bigger.
The original image looked like this...
I used the rubber stamp tool in photoshop to take away the ring of the light. Levels and channel mixer were used on some on the images below, however i was alot happier with the lighting on these images so they did not need much editing.
This is a close-up of the set-up described above.The two photos below are using only one light with a snoot attachment, positioned to the left and at a lower angle, pointing up at the model's face.
I do like how only part of the model's face can be seen, however i feel like these images would be greatly improved with a hair light or rim lighting and the model does not stand out from the background.
For the rest of these images i introduced a second light with a honeycomb attachment. This was metered to f5.6. It was placed slightly behind the model and to the right.
The levels on the image below have been altered to make it look solarized. This was done by lightening the mid tones.
The photo above was created by lightening the mid tones in
Photoshop.
The photo above was using the same technique of lightening the mid tones.
