Location
This photo was taken in my small studio on the tropical island of Koh Phangan in the gulf of Thailand.Time
This was an early evening shoot, originally planned for a outdoor golden hour shoot, however a tropical storm forced us to change into a studio session.Lighting
I was trying to get a strong image highlighting the Thai prayer tattoo, 2 light set up, one strip box rim light, one octobox grided to show the tattoo.Equipment
Nikon d850, sigma 85mm 1.4 @F4 Godox ad200 in a strip box Godox sk400ii in a octobox with grid Godox Xt triggerInspiration
This was an unplanned shoot due to bad weather, we decided to shoot in the studio as a back up, the tattoo was the focus of the shoot.Editing

Sometimes being a bit unconventional with lighting is fun. Try to step outside the box and break a few rules.
