Sasha and Linxi posing for bodyscapes, lightened with speedlights. We wrapped the Chinese models in christmassy, kitchy red giftwrap. That caters for a strong contrast in many respects and a sort of crossover between the eastern and the western culture.

If I got the chance to shoot some awesome bodyscapes but I don’t have a striplight with me – should I let this chance just pass? Dude, no way!

When I was young, I’ve seen MacGyver on TV. Give that dude a ballpoint pen and a chewing gum and he will manufactor the wildest things out of it. A bomb, a laser or whatever he needs on his quest. So in situtation where I need a striplight but I just don’t have one I will ask myself: What would MacGyver do?

Would you like to give your bodyscapes the edge? With some deliniation light? This video is a little add-on to my previous video regarding how to use a showercurtain as a softbox for photoshoots.

How many large, body sized softboxes do you usually have with you, when you are on a trip in a foreign country? 5? Two? One? … None? Not a single softbox in your check in luggage? OK, no problem.
 

Last time while visiting Beijing, I noticed that a new model joined our Chinese modelling online forum. Her name is Amelia.
