Chris Camargo: Hey Strobists, So I was just turned on to Dan Winters work from David Hobby's recent post about the "Candid Frame" interview. I was instantly enamored. When looking through the work available on his website, I was fixated on Dan's portrait of Tom Hanks. It's been 24 hours since I first saw it, and I still can't stop looking at it (yeah, I probably should see someone about that). I was curious to see if anyone else knew how exactly this one was lit. Hobby, feel free to speak up if you know. Here's what I'm getting from the picture: Looks like a total of 3 lights. The main key coming from above camera right. Possibly modified with a snoot? I'm not sure, the falloff seems too soft. The background light is extremely soft and understated, maybe in a softbox? Difficult to tell where. And finally, the third light looks like it might be a ring light. The giveaway is the highlight on Hanks' ear. Looks very direct and ring flash-y to me. What do you guys think? Are we close here?

As with so many love stories, the making of the movie was equal parts turbulence and passion.
Developing a personal style of photography is ever important for becoming a great photographer.

By the time Christopher Nolan signed up to direct Interstellar and started rewriting its script, astrophysicist Kip Thorne had been working with Nolan's brother, Jonathan (who goes by Jonah), on getting his ideas onto film for years. When Chris and Thorne met, they quickly found common ground: Thorne wanted science in the story, and Nolan wanted the story to emerge from science. So in Interstellar, time dilation—the passing of time at different rates for different observers—became an emotional obstacle between a father and his daughter. Quantum gravity, the reconciliation of relativity and quantum mechanics, became the plot's central mystery. The visual effects team even collaborated with Thorne to make sure their depictions of a black hole were accurate as well as elegant.
