Golden Brown (Westy 52 Project)

This weeks' image is a shot of Clare from our two flash trial session.

This shot used one flash (camera left) shot through a white umbrella to give the lovely soft lighting on Clare's face, and another behind her to provide the hairlight. (Diagram at end of post)

Converted to B&W in Photoshop and then I applied a 'Brown Sugar' photoshop action that gives the warm (almost Sepia) effect to the background.

I hope you like it. 


 
  The hairlight SB-600 was set to very low power, and yet still gave more spill than I would have liked. 

A snoot would have been a better way to go.
