Structure and equipment
Set 1
„To spice up the white wall in the garage, we decided to hang a transparent garden film on the track of the garage door. This enabled us to do a lot subtle color reflections generate what ultimately leads to the colored lighting of the model "It was a better fit and we didn't have a sterile background," explains Nagel..

In order to illuminate model Juliane Denzer with three colors, he has one from the back on the left Rollei Lumen Stick used, whose LEDs orange were set. Ours shone from the front left Lumen ring RGB in Cyan and another from the front right Lumen Ring RGB in magenta. In this way the photographer has the exciting double ring reflection create in the eyes of the model.
Set 2
Sebastian Nagel did not use a lumen ring for this setup, but rather two lumen sticks, with one of the two shining in blue from the left, the other from the right in red. And here too it was Slide in the background appropriate.

Set 4
Here Juliane is lying on the floor and is wrapped in the foil. Here too they have him Lumen sticks in magenta and blue served well. However, blue is more focused on the foil to enhance the background a bit. Plus, Nagel explains, he has this on sets 2-4 to generally brighten up the garage Soluna II-60, used. So to speak, as passive light source.
As you can see, you can do it even with slightly fewer options fantastic photos succeed. Get inspired by us!
Note: Please note that the Lumen Stick RGB shown in the photos is the previous version without an integrated and non-removable handle. The technical specifications of the new model with integrated handle are identical. You can use the new Lumen Stick RGB for a shoot in the same way as described and shown here.
