For this photo, I had a diffused light with a red gel to Thomas's right. I set up two low-powered backlights behind him, and had the backlight to his right reflect off the wall. Finally, I had a reflected blue light to his left.

 

Editing took a while. I basically tried to create a bunch of haze using different brushes and blurs. I used a reference image to get the colors right. I used a few different shapes to create little pieces of light, most noticeably the blue lines behind Thomas's shoulder. I had quite a few shots of just bokeh from recent months and was able to use those photos to help this image. Using color balance, curves, hue, and blending modes, I tried to make the bokeh blend in with the background. Thomas's shirt was pretty bright, so I darkened it.

 

This photo fits with the rest of my concentration because of the intense lighting, the subjects' pose, the unity/variety, the cinematic grading and crop, and the red and blue color.
