Thank you so much for talked to me on Instagram, invited me to your Facebook group and these tutorials that you are doing I'll try to learn and do better photos
This is the best video on cat photography I've seen. Most 'pet' photographers are really dog photographers and cats as subjects are totally different from dogs in every possible way. Look forward to learning more from you :)
I'd really love to know more about your lighting set up, did you use 3x 400watt strobes? What strength did you use and where did you set them up...high key images for pets in a small space is something I'm aiming to set up. Thanks!
Thanks for asking. Small pets don't "need" 3 lights if they are close to the backdrop like the cats were in this video. We used one Westcott FJ400 boomed overhead, which lit the cats and the backdrop evenly. They were even because the distance from the back of the backdrop and the floor of the backdrop were the same. You could use two extra lights on the sides to light the backdrop if you are looking for a pure white backdrop and the key light can't be the same distance to the back of the backdrop and the floor. Hope that makes sense.
@@agoldphotopetphotographyst5683 That's useful, thanks for that! I'm guessing what you mean is that the key light needs to be closer to the subject if using two x BG lights?
You wouldn’t need any background lights if the subject is right against the background. If you want pure white though, pull the subject away from the background and then you can light the backdrop separately.
