Cropping is something different for me.. it is a 16x9 wide screen crop..

a fan was plugged into a Vagabond to create the hair wind effect..

2 lights were used on this shot.

1. Key lighting was AB1600 with Beauty Dish Gridded. about 6 -8 feet away from Subject at low power

2. The Blue lighting was 1 Speed light held by Aurielle's mother Beth.. ( i had 2 speed lights set up to fire, but this shot was one that only one fired and it turned out to be my fav) speed light was 1/4 power with blue film gel)

Since you are so skillful, forgive my nitpicking. IMHO, the hair light seems a bit too strong. And it might be better to match the hair light's color with the color of her eyes. (Maybe just a less bright hairlight can do the match.)

Her eyes are blue ...

Yes, but it's not as light blue as the hairlight.

I don't really think that's plausible.

May I ask why? Couldn't it be easily done by reducing the power of the light?

Matching her eyes to the gel would require sampling of the gel color and replacing her eyes with the color making it unnatural.

Pham, you use a quarter CTO gel on all your lights, right?
