Headshots: Marshall Titus Album Cover

Chicago photographer album artwork photoshoot

For this shoot I tried something new. I decided to use one of my two new twin 1200-watt HMI movie lights as my main light and then I used two two-foot Kino Flo lights to strip either side of the subjects face. I ended up using just the Kino Flos for the final album cover image above. By using continuous lighting I was able to see the light in real time which was so much more fun than shooting with electronic flash and imagining what the light would look like when the strobes fired.

My two strand 1.2kw Par HMI lights are so big that when I were shipped to me recently, they came freight and took up most of a pallet.
