A couple quick ones with Aaron

I shot with Aaron again today with Warren doing the makeup/hair and Michael on the styling.  We did a couple different looks, but first here are a couple headshots we did in the end.

Working with studio lights I’m very used to shooting at f/8 or higher,  sometimes this is more or less forced.  It is impossible to shoot at f/2.5 with studio lights, unless your iso can go down to 50 or 25, or your light is highly diffused, but end of the day there is just too much power.   So to achieve this thin DOF to make it look as if Aaron is coming out of the darkness, I shot with the modeling light of the Alienbee with a beauty dish gridded.  This was shot at iso 400 and f/2.5 on my 35mm (this is becoming my go to lens now).
