Citizen Niece

"Citizen Niece"
Today's portrait was inspired by a portrait of Orson Welles in 1940, shot by Ernest Bachrach. As is typically the issue with these daily posts, I never seem to have enough time to tweak the details. There is a distinct shadow on Welles' chin, however, my light was too close to our subject, and I did not have the space to flag the strobe in the way that I would have liked. So, there are three lights working here. Our key is a gridded speedlight at camera-right, and it has been taped off in order to only light the width of our lovely model's face. I employed my Light Blaster with a window frame slide on the background, and there is a gridded beauty dish next to the camera, providing a bit of fill light. While I am fully aware of the shortcomings, it was a learning experience, and I will return to this concept one day. Thanks for peeking in the window.
