On Location 2-Light Setup w/ Matt

This shot was part of a test shoot I did for the Linda McCallister talent agency in Dallas. We found a really cool abandoned car repair/ gas station with an old truck in front of it in Deep Ellum and decided to shoot there. I knew I wanted it to have a realistic HDR look so I set the exposure for the background and used the lighting setup in the diagram below to illuminate the subject.

Placed behind and to the subject's right was a snooted strobe (you can see a bit of camera flare from it on the left side of the image) to separate him from the busy background. The key light was a large softbox placed camera right. It was super windy so I had to sandbag the snoot and have an assistant hold the softbox.
