Click on photos to enlarge - Here, our German professor with a very convincing bald cap. Two EGOS - Ego No. 1 illuminates both the background and is turned just enough to create a rim light on the shadow side of the actors' faces. Ego No. 2 provides the "main" light and is functionally enlarged for the 3/4 portraits with a simple piece of tracing paper (#3 above) that spreads the useful diffusion surface to become similar to the coverage needed to show off some of the costuming of the thesbians. The background material is a very inexpensive lightweight non-woven paper measuring 12 x 24 feet purchased for $30 during the Photo Marketing Association show from a Chinese company - I am trying to track them down to learn their American selling agent. As to getting the EGO up on a studio lightstands, see details in a subsequent blog entry.
