Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
haven't shot an image during the whole week... was a bit out of sorts for several days (still am) and also there was work.... there was one tiny project that just went back without any reschedule.... Lamisa received this lovely locomotive toy as a birthday gift... but somehow kept it out of her reach until she as matured enough to understand at least some of it.... so far so good; she's been pretty generous at this toy; only watching and marveling at its technology... perhaps she made an exception and decided to keep this toy alive for a little longer than we expected.... and thats probably the reason that kept me lazy....
anyway, I had the little push I needed for the late night photoshoot.... Lamisa had her energy... she had a pretty good evening nap (God, how long she lasts tonight!!).... so, there was no point not doing this.... I shrugged off my lazy skin and went to work...
a simple one-light setup was enough for this.... wanted the light to be a bit directional... so, avoided a simple on-camera flash... we would be lying on the ground... so, Lamisa's face would be quite a bit away from the ceiling if I needed to bounce from a speedlite... thats a drain on power... and also didn't want a wash of light everywhere..... so, used the Elinchrom Ranger with the 120cm x50cm Simpex softbox... its a great tool to control light.... didn't set anything else... just the typical white wall behind with other stuff in front of it.... didn't move a thing.... 50mm lens shot @f4... shallow depth... thats it... as simple as it goes.... setup to finish.... less than 20min....
important shoot tomorrow.... gotta catch some sleep...
