I like it... especially the colors of the gel you are using.... is that yellow and violet?

My first attempt at studio lighting a portrait.

Beautiful women, Some hair lights and/or rim lights ,to separate the dark hair from the dark background would have added more to this awesome image.

I need more lights - tho a different background would have worked also. I put the 64" PLMs up high to add specular highlights to the hair - but the edge fades right into the background.

If you had a speedlight on camera, you could bounce it off the ceiling at low power

Or off a white panel to the right using a BFT.

You could easily cover them with one PLM leaving the other free for background/separation light as well.

Einstein through an octa with no diffuser but an inner reflector w/ full CTO gel camera right.

Two speedlights at full power shooting through a white umbrella, lighting the background and providing ambient fill for the room. Reflector camera left on the wall to fill the shadow side of his face. Two stop Hoya ND filter to knock the ambient down.

Nice shot Shane. What time of day?

Thanks! Exif says 2:46AM.... It was around 1pm. Probably closer to 1230 if anything. Either way, it was midday.
