Sure, there are two ways in which we can bring two people together with their bodies facing one another and with their bodies parallel to one another.
I’ve decided by looking her face and her hair style that her bangs are on this side, so if I turn her face I’m going to turn your face in this direction that means the light come on this side. I don’t always want to work with the light on the same side.
I watch they asked the photographer, “Why you always work with the lights on the left side of this camera?” And he said, “That as far as the cord would reach.” Well, that was a good reason, but we need to analyze faces at this point and decide which way their going to turn their faces, place the lights on that side. I’ve already done the custom white balance. I have set up two stools now, and the two stools are like a foot and a half apart. He’s going to be sited here. She’ll be sited here they are both lean in together, and you’re going to see how nicely and quickly it folds together.
Notice the way the blond hair, the white clothes, the light background. They all blend together, so the face is pop out. I’ve turn her body away from the light, and her face back to the light. She is in the feminine pose. He is turned to the light. His head is tipped towards her. If you remove him from the picture she looks good by herself, and if you remove her from the picture he is in a simple, basic pose. Their heads are pretty much parallel to one another. The only thing that I had to do here was to bring his face a little bit forward from her, so they both caught that light coming from a 90 degrees creating the highlights on the side of their faces. Light pattern is pretty much the same on both of them.
Here is the other way and what’s we’re going to pose the couple. The first we had their bodies facing each other. The stools were far apart, so they can lean towards each other. Occasionally, we want to have that fade their bodies parallel to each other. This works out really well. If you have a big person behind and the little person in front blocking the big person or short or tall person, but just a beautiful way of setting it up with both of them, he in the basic pose and she in the feminine pose.
Now I decided that this time to bring the lights over to this side of the picture, and I’ll tell you why, because naturally it’s going to be better for the feminine pose to have the light cross the body and with the basic pose as long as he is full face we can light there from either side. So this is going to show the detail that we want.
This picture with the two bodies parallel is so easy to create. She is in the feminine pose, he is in a basic pose, but remember for this picture the stool were right next to each other. And the thing that you have to be careful on this pose is not to let her lean back towards him. She’s always leaning forward over the ways towards her knees, and that’s why his stool has to be right next to her. So he can lean over to her bring his right shoulder behind her, and connect the two bodies with his right shoulder.
I could lie there from either side since its full face I chose to light it from the right side because the light crosses over both of their bodies and creates great detail on what they’re both wearing.
