Si vous aimez la flexibilité lorsque vous photographiez mais aimez l’éclairage de l’heure dorée, alors cette configuration pourrait être une bonne solution à ajouter à votre kit mental !
Dans cette procédure pas à pas, je vais vous montrer comment j’ai simulé un look brumeux d’une heure d’or avec un simple kit flash hors caméra.
Ce dont vous aurez besoin
Mise en scène
Mon objectif était de capturer le couple dans cette incroyable allée de pins du magnifique lieu de mariage de la Sunshine Coast, Montville Country Cabins. Nous tournions en milieu d’après-midi en été, mais je voulais simuler la lueur dorée du coucher de soleil sans attendre trois heures ou plus pour l’obtenir ! Même si j’avais attendu, les arbres n’étaient pas au bon endroit pour un bon éclairage de l’heure dorée, j’ai donc essayé cette configuration pour la simuler à la place.
L’installation consistait en un flash agissant comme le « soleil », sur un grand support d’éclairage caché entre deux arbres sur le côté gauche (voir schéma plus bas). Ensuite, j’ai mis un gel orange sur le flash pour lui donner cet éclat de coucher de soleil et j’ai utilisé de la fumée photographique pour capter la lumière du flash solaire (elle a été pulvérisée dans l’air autour du couple avant chaque prise de vue). J’ai également essayé le flash nu, mais il ne m’a pas donné la couleur que je recherchais.
Simulez la brume des heures dorées avec le flash externe pour un portrait forestier fantaisiste
Sur le côté droit, également caché derrière un arbre, j’ai mis ma lampe clé, avec un Rogue FlashBender XL Pro comme softbox pour diffuser la lumière.
L’éclair du soleil était derrière le couple (pointant derrière l’arbre 1 dans le schéma ci-dessous), et le flash lumineux de la clé était en devant du couple (les montrant de côté, entre les arbres 5 et 6).
À côté du couple, à gauche, j’ai demandé à un assistant de lever le voile, et de l’autre côté (à côté de la lumière principale), un autre assistant a projeté de la fumée photographique dans la scène. Notez la façon dont le vent souffle la fumée pour votre tir et déplacez votre assistant de fumée si nécessaire !
Paramètres de l’appareil photo et du flash à utiliser pour cette photo
C’est une configuration simple (par rapport à cette pose longue avec flash portrait de nuit) : j’avais mon appareil photo en ISO 160, f/2.8 et une exposition 1/200s, pour exposer la forêt. Les deux flashs ont été laissés sur TTL (auto) qui s’est occupé de l’exposition sur le couple. Trop facile !
Comment simuler la brume de l’heure d’or
Pour chaque plan, j’ai préparé le couple à partir (prêt à plonger, à soulever, à embrasser, etc.), puis l’assistante au voile a soulevé le voile.
Mon assistant de fumée a pulvérisé la scène avec de la fumée, le voile a été baissé et le couple a fait son travail pendant que je prenais quelques photos. Rincez, réinitialisez et répétez !
J’ai choisi mes derniers favoris en regardant comment le voile tombait, à quoi ressemblait la fumée et si la pose était celle que je voulais. Faire en sorte que les trois soient parfaits dans chaque prise de vue est délicat lorsque le vent interfère : par exemple, dans la photo de droite ci-dessous, j’adore la fumée et la pose, mais le voile n’est pas tout à fait correct.

La pose est superbe, le voile fonctionne et la fumée donne cette subtile lueur dorée que j’espérais obtenir. Avec cette configuration de base du flash hors caméra, vous pouvez créer votre propre heure d’or à tout moment de la journée.
