Thanks!

AB800 on a 42" white PLM camera left, AB800 on a 42" soft box umbrella for fill camera right. Two little JTL strobes helped to provide some depth from behind. One was bare bulb pointed at him from behind the right and another one on a silver umbrella pointed at him from behind left.

Do you by chance remember what each was metered at? I usually only use two lights and one hair light but this looks amazing

Since it was just messing around, I didn't make note of the settings. However, I usually have my main at or close to half power, my fill at or close to 1/4 power and my little JTL's down as low as they can go. I don't use a light meter.

I usually shoot at F8, this one was F10 for a bit more mood and shadow. I have my camera set to neutral with no added in camera changes, but I play with shadows etc. in DPP. I converted to BW and added a brown tint to it in CS2 for more mood. The color original was creamy/rich, but not as much impact and pop IMO as the BW.

I have to add also, that the light that is made with an AB PLM is drool worthy. I love it and I use it every chance I get. I can't wait to get a silver 64" when they come off back order!

Great work. Love the lighting and mood as well.
