Masks
I've been turning over in my mind for a while now the idea of the masks we all put on, and what we present to others. The result is this slightly more conceptual kind of image to remind myself that portraits just capture one of many faces; I also included the sketches I made in the process as part of the final image.
Strobist: Softbox on camera uper left as key. Fill from flash bounced on a wall on camera right, lower on a tripod so it hits the arm and the magazine. A third gridded flash is beamed upwards from below the scissors for added specular detail, these are also slightly pointed towards the key light to capture its reflection.
