這次的拍攝在白棚內，整體質感走向硬光，讓環境與人物確實分離，人物也在舒服的程度下有足夠光比，有趣的部分是前期討論提到，希望能有模擬時裝秀現場閃光燈此起彼落的效果，前期在公司測試了數種方式，最後選擇從人物的四面八方安裝數盞不同出力的聚光燈，透過黑旗與黑錫箔控制各自閃爍的範圍，並且透過 Blackout 給予不同出力值和 Fade in/Fade out 時間曲線，從而更真實地重現每個記者與攝影師的閃光燈觸發時間不同，廠牌回電速度也不同，整體的強弱應該是隨機而不機械性地，整體效果還算滿意，但還是比不上實際使用數盞閃光燈擊發來的有說服力，希望未來能做出更真實的燈光技法來模擬。
This one was shot in a white studio, with the overall feel pushed toward hard light, so the set and the subject stay clearly separated. The ratio on him stays strong enough yet still comfortable. The fun part is that we wanted to mimic the flashes going off all over a fashion show. We tested a few approaches before at our own studio, and in the end set up several COB light sources of different outputs all around him, using black flags and black foil to control the spread of each light. We used Blackout to give each one its own intensity and In / Out curve. That let us recreate it in a more realistic way — every reporter and photographer fires at a different moment, and different brands' flashes recycle at different speeds, so the overall rise and fall should feel random rather than mechanical. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, though it still isn't as convincing as actually firing a set of real flashes. I hope to build a more realistic lighting technique to pull this off down the line.
