This poised young lady with the perfect makeup and confident expression was posed with a cardiac monitor in a hallway at Emory Medical Center in Atlanta for another in the series of personnel recruitment ads I did for the hospital.
Lighting for this setup was relatively simple: floodlights instead of electronic flashes because I could use bulbs with the same color temperature as the ambient light. I set one light stand to my right (her left). You can see the effect of that light by the shadow on her tunic and also by the soft highlight on her left cheek. A second light was placed at camera position and a little farther away to open up the shadows.
A third light was placed down the hall behind her to supplement the wall fixtures and bring the hall illumination to the proper level to make the subject stand out.
The model was a hospital employee chosen for her appearance and overall demeanor of competence. She was easy to work with and everyone was happy with the finished product.
The camera was a Canon 10D, my first digital camera. Only six megapixels, which sounds like nothing these days, but the files looked great for their intended purpose.
Blog Note: I'm busy this week doing a final edit on the second edition of Backroads and Byways of Georgia. It's supposed to be released in December, but things are not moving very quickly at the publishers. We'll see.
