In this video, the photographic duo Charles and Jennifer Maring explain how they create two high fashion images with just a single Profoto D1.

In the first one, the D1 is placed up high to emulate sunlight and cast a dramatic shadow. For the second one, a D1 unit paired with a Softlight Reflector White come together with ambient light to create a soft and beautiful setting.

Well, it is probably easier to just have a look for yourself. Enjoy!

The Marings’ Two Profoto D1 Light Set-Up

In this video the Marings couple create two different light set-ups using a single D1 Air Kit.

In the first set-up, a Softlight Reflector White (Beauty Dish) with a Honey Comb Grid is used to light the subject, while the integrated D1 Reflector lights the background to create a striking 3D effect.

The second set-up explores a more lighthearted setting, in which the umbrella is used to light the subject, while a D1 Air is used as rim light on her shoulders and hair.

If you have missed the first video in which the Marings explains how to create two high fashion images with just a single D1 monolight, make sure to check that one out too!

This is the final video in our series of light shaping tutorials with Charles and Jennifer Maring. This time the duo play around with two Profoto D1 Kits.

An umbrella mounted on a D1 is used to illuminate the background. Then to brighten the back of the subject, aMagnum Reflector with a grid on a D1 Air is placed behind her. This gives the photo a 3D effect plus a sprinkle of glamour. A 10-degree Honeycomb Grid on a D1 Air is used to focus the light on her face. Lastly, a Softbox StripLight is used to showcase her outfit.

If you have missed our One Light Set-Up or Two Light Set-Up video, why not have a look?
