Transcending Intrigue (Self Portrait)

So since I moved a few months ago I really havent shot very much, In fact its been at least 4 or 5 months since I shot my last self portrait. I dont have a studio anymore and share a house with my brother and his gf so I really dont get the chance to shoot in the house. I have been wanting to shoot some photos in our living room for a while now because I liked how the natural light came through the windows and light up the room. So I decided to take it a little farther and light it entirely with strobes to somewhat mimic that natural light. All together this shot consisted of four strobes plus a reflector, shot at night, and took about an hour and a half from setup to final edited photo. Anyone know who's book that is on the coffee table? :)

 

Strobist Info:

1 Alienbee b1600 in beauty dish camera right slightly above eye level, with intention hot spot on my face so the light faded out the farther it gets from my face.

1 Alienbee b400 in 7 inch reflector outside of door to light the outside wall and shine some light on the lamp and inside wall.

1 Alienbee b400 in 7 inch reflector camera left in kitchen to add ambience type lighting from the kitchen.

1 Nikon sb 700 fired into wall in the hallway for added ambience in the background.

a 4 foot reflector camera left just out of frame to add slight fill light to myself.

Done
