Alexa
This past weekend was another SSBR workshop in Denver. My model was a wonderful young lady named Alexa. In this photo, I placed Alexa right next to an inside window. I taped a sheet of ripstop nylon to the outside of the window, and shot my SB-800 through the nylon sheet.
Here Alexa lit using one SB-800 fitted with a full cut CTO gel on the flash head, simulating late afternoon sunlight. I projected the flash through a acetate I painted with patterned leafs, this produces a nice dapple effect on the wall.
In this last photo, Alexa put on a football uniform and I did a 4 light sports look. The key light is a FourSquare™ with one SB-800, 2 SB-800's with grids fitted with a full CTO giving me some warmth on the kicker. I have one last SB-800 directed on the wall just behind her. DT

Amazing shots again - thanks for sharing them, so as for the howto!
Once again, excellent results using a minimum of gear and what's available. Taping frosted gels, shower curtain or nylon and utilizing an existing window like a softbox creates a beautiful light.
Great stuff, David.
