Phylogenesis- Windows to the Soul by FuzzyYak on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I am (pretty much) equal parts nervous and excited about sharing this image. Not only did we work REALLY hard on the day of the shoot, but I spent a fair bit of time working on this to get it perfect.

I really hope that hard work shows.

Note: The bald head is not Photoshop

Lighting
I used my usual three-point lighting setup:

A 65W Ring Light as my main light source with two Canon Speedlite 580EX II flashes for the rim-lighting.

The speedlights were inside 1.8 meter high gridded strip boxes on and were at 1/16th power. The ring-light was quite far away from her, so I got nice, small catch-lights in the eyes.
