I did a rather long shoot with Rachel Hospodar on Sunday. Here’s a couple of single images from some diptychs. I was at a little bit of a disadvantage because one of the two lights I had brought was on the fritz, so I think the wider one has a little bit of an exposure rake across it– that is, the exposure on the right is a little bit less than the exposure on the left– you can see it in the orange wall behind.

The other pair is vertical, and so was a little easier to pull off with a single light without raking across– I think it turned out lovely. Rachel’s paintings are very textural, so the single light may be better, as it won’t entirely hide the details in the texture. The modeling light, however, was key in figuring out where to put the light so it wouldn’t glare off the paintings. “When I said matte, I really meant semigloss”.
