Edward Horsford
(Unit content 2)
Edward used sound trigger, strobes and one stick to take these images. He's using a custom made trigger that designed himself. He was shooting in the dark and he'd the strobes on lightstands and the SLR on tripod.
Generally, he used smallish ballons. The ballons mounted on a stand or in the air. Most of his shots he had the ballons filled with water and with some dye. In addition, he always planned that how he's going to be shoot and what he wants to achive. Think of new angles, taken many test shots,experiment and post editing at the end.
Now I'll show you some technique that he used and the results of his work.
Technique 1: This time he was about experimenting with extremes of color. He used yellow gel on one speedlite to color the background. The other speedlite used to illuminate the subject. The ballon had filled with dye. He also used black *gobos to prevent spill onto subject.
*gobo = is a short form of "goes between optics" as in something that goes between your light and your lens. They are there to partially block light.
On the left is an SB600 strobe set on 1/64th power. SB800 on the right, 1/64th with yellow gel.The red is his working space. Below is the result images of this setting and few other images using this technique but with different gel color.
Technique 2: Two speedlights placed at very acute angles to subject with gobos to prevent spill onto working area. Ballon filled with dyed water.
SB600 on left and below on 1/64th power and SB800 on right and above on 1/64th.
