 Lit by modeling light and white umbrella.
Had an LED flashlight propped up pointing vaguely at the back of her head to sort of light up the hair.
Background was a wall, wide aperture used to avoid showing the texture of it.

This has grown on me more and more. (Since voting, unfortunately.) Every time I look at the front page I find this attracting my eye. Congrats on the HM.

interesting the fade in and out of blown whites to blown blacks.

but i think the balance is off - would like to see more detail in the hair. especially where it meets her cheek.

i like the simple lighting set up. just a little to the right maybe ?

Like the use of mono here, one of the higher shots in my view.
