Behind the scenes portraiture: Shooting colorful portraits with Elaine Torres

Photographer and educator Elaine Torres has recently been working with the DIGIBEE 800 light by Paul C Buff. With the light, Torres shows us her go-to lighting setup when doing creative portraits. In total, for her lighting she uses a DIGIBEE 800, ALIENBEE 800, 22-inch silver beauty dish and 8.5-inch high output reflector bowl. Her camera of choice is the Canon 5D Mark III and the lens is a 24-70mm f/2.8.
The DIGIBEE 800 is a distinct light because it has the ability to shoot as a strobe or as a continuous light source. Torres does a great job of not only sharing her camera settings, but breaking down her lighting setup and explaining the choices she's making with the gear, background and the model.
