Very nice!

Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken in the studio.

Time

8.37pm - not that it is relevant.

Lighting

I used an overhead strip light that I normally used for highlighting hair as the main. A reflector front left, and a snoot on a strobe for the seamless paper background.

Equipment

Canon 5D Mark II and EF 24-70 f2.8L USM

Inspiration

Angus has many great ideas, and I wanted to capture an enlightenment vibe in his photo.

Editing

Yes, unfortunately, He had a major skin out break. The photo borders on over processed IMO, but it was necessary to clean it up.

In my camera bag

I mainly shoot Nikon, and Canon brands. I have many bags, and many lenses. (both brand specific AF lenses, and Manual Nikkors which I can use on both brands), adapters, tubes, CF & SD cards, flash, etc.

Feedback

Start with a single light source (artificial or natural), and add a reflector as a second light to give a good light to shadow ratio of lighting. Paint with light, and paint with shadow - it is what adds depth to an image.
