Lighting Study and Materials. World Traveler in the 70's. A scene inspired by our grandparents coming back to Greece from Australia with the knowledge of photography & portable light technology of those years.
Three Light Setup: One beauty dish with grid on the right. Two reflector lights with CTO gels on the left; one lighting the scene and one lighting the background, simulating the lamp light.

Thanks Everyone for voting, commenting or viewing my work! Conratulations to the winners they are really deserve it! It was a lighting study experiment on our studio and it was a great opportunity to submit again after years on the digital photography challenge!
This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)
Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.
This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. Bold-as-you-like posing.
2. It's superbly lit and exposed.
3. The softness of the artefacts.
4. The oddness of the scene.
I like unusual portraits - and this is a great one.
Flat out fantastic work - I would hang that on my wall. It tells a story, it compels you to question, and it's technically wonderful. I especially like the detail of the bulb in the lampshade.
