Speedlights as backlight for “Star” photos with flare effect

http://SmokingStrobes.com - In this video I am using Speedlights to serve as backlight generating flare. I am taking some photos of HA-L who is a music producer (Avex Trax). While her artists are usually on the big stage she herself is working in the background... until now. Because with the lighting tactic I just mentioned I pulled her onto the stage - at least photographically. The lighting setup requires a bit of effort, but it’s not that hard. Setup takes 10 minutes max. Have a look at the video and check the lighting diagram on my blog. I wish you good light! -- Michael
