Hi there,

I love images where there is a black outline around the subject so I thought it would be a really good idea to see if I could arrange that in my small office.

The set up is quite simple, My key light was a strip light though any soft box of a smallish size would work as well.

I used black reflectors to block the light before It got to Oisin and then I had two black reflectors on either side of him as well.

Behind Oisin, I had two speedlites pointed at the backdrop to create the white.

On some images, I also placed a black card in front of Oisin so it blocked the light reaching his chest.

The images have minimal photoshop to them so you can see they work well in either black and white or colour.

Oisin was not up for it today, It took forever to get him in the office and any chance he had, he scarpered. Still though, He was a lot better than his younger sister who was obviously having a bad hair day!
