Sixties Fashion Shoot

In this fashion photography class, Karl shows you how to capture a striking and vivid retro image.

Beginning with a simple yellow background and floor, he tries out various setups to light the yellow evenly. Then it’s time to bring model Britt onto the set and start experimenting with the key lights.

As Karl and Ash bring in different modifiers and tweak the power settings to get just the right level of exposure, you’ll see how small adjustments can make a big difference.

With the lighting sorted, Britt can start striking poses and throwing shapes. Soon, Karl has the shots he needs to create the final image.

In this class:

  • Lighting techniques for fashion photography
  • How to light a coloured background
  • Photography with parabolic umbrellas
  • Studio fashion photography tips

To watch Karl edit and retouch the final image, check out Sixties Fashion | Post-Production.

    Hi Karl, new subscriber and a long-time fan. I love that yellow and am planning to paint up some boards in a similar fashion.

    Do you still have the info on what colour code or paint combo for that yellow so we can get the paint store to make that mix?

        Thanks Karl. For anyone else, it looks roughly like it is in the region of:

        RGB 255 228 72
        HEX #ffe448
        CMYK (PRINT) 0 7 80 0
        NCS (PAINT) S-0550-Y

    Thank you for having these classes for home or if you rent a studio. Did some Fashion Jewelry Photography but have to remember to retouch the photo with additional software or Photoshop if used for social media. Many thanks for your expertise.

  4. Hey Karl,

    thank you for this class!
    Just a short question for the background lighting.
    You did a class where you showed a kinda „cage lighting“ with V-flats.
    This lighting made a wonderful even lit background.
    Why did you not use these technic on this setup?

    Thanks Karl!
    Regards
    Matthias

    1. Hi Matthias, yes we have done several with V-Flats to create a more even illumination and it is the best technique but we try to show other options as well on the platform for those that either don’t have the space or V-Flats.
