Billy apprached Designer Portraits for assistance with creating a modelling portfolio that would allow him to pursue his commercial modelling aspirations. The shoot focussed on creating commercially stylised images.

The resulting shots (below) were created in-studio using a number of lighting setups and post processing techniques. Lighting consisted mostly of side lighting using softboxes, reflectors and gobos to create dramatic, stylised yet commercial looking images.

The above two images were shot against a grey background and consisted of two large 1.2m x1.2m softboxes positioned either side of the model almost in a straight line (but slightly behind the model. Highlighting of the models hair was achieved using a third monobloc with barndoors fitted at high level and pointing to the models hairline.

The below two images were shot with the same lighting setup but slightly more behind the model (almost 45 degrees either way). This setup provided some flair lighting to the shot. Additional flair lighting effects were added as part of post processing.
