Here’s a little background info, from photographer Illuminaut, on the whys and hows of today’s photo.
For TRP: The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. MacMillian Coffee is raising money and awareness for cancer research. Please consider getting involved.
The More You Knowâ„¢: The background is an actual still frame from the movie, re-lit to fit the rest of the image.
Strobist: SB600 camera left through umbrella at 1/32 in a dark room and camera exposure at 1s. The faint light on subject left is a computer monitor with just enough brightness to light up the face but not cause motion blur. Triggered via TTL sync cable (no idea why they insist on this silly detail, what difference does it make how you trigger your flash?).
