Sargent Photo of Ken

Terpstra Photography Studios

Technical Data:
Black paper background with med-grid spot and blue gel at f4.5. Distance about 30".
Hair light from medium soft box and fabric grid backing down and forward barely out of frame measuring about f5.6.0.
Main light is medium softbox horizontally aimed and featherd far to side at about f5.6.3
and small-grid-spot pushed tightly against main and aiming at center of face measuring about f2.8.5 for a combined main of A gold/silver reflector was brought in to fill-in shadows on right side and an ND4 filter was used to take No photoshop editing done except exchange of eyes due to blink.
Now the bad part: My power pack died about 15 shots into the tests.
It's a Bowens QuadX3000 and about 12 months old. Big bummer! Not too happy with Bowens given I just bought some Travelite 750s that both died too.
What gives?
