Several weeks ago I was in Philadelphia teaching a lighting workshop for The Nikonian's Organization. During the course of the workshop, I try my best to demonstrate as many types of lighting that I can squeeze during the time allowed.
For the following photos in this post, I was demonstrating artificial sunlight. I set up two SB-800 outside on tall stands, both fitted with full cuts of CTO's as well as Radio Poppers. The strobes were well outside of line of site and quite far from my camera position.
I think it's very important that you explore as many variation of your shot as possible. Your lights are set, why not try as many different poses and position of your subject as possible. In the short amount of time we had in this one location, I moved Diamandi to various locations within the set. Giving us and her multiple choices at the end of the shoot.
Listen, you've taken the time to set up lights, explore and work your situation too it's fullest.

An excellent tip David. We need to remember to think outside the box and push our creative boundries, and that will help keep us fresh and motivated.

Nice!
This is a very good tip. We sometimes forget that when we are in the studio the lights don't necessarily need to be inside too. Thanks for the tip.

Was this at Powerplant? I've been there many times but don't recognize that corner.
Hi Addison: Yes, first floor straight back on the left. Strobes paced outside under the bridge construction. DT
