This is Eric. He is 12 years old and proud of it. He loves soccer and wants to be a professionl soccer player when he gets older. He was not the happiest having his picture taken....really argued with his mom...then I had to kick her out.
Lighting was from using two large white bedsheets and a flash strobe behind it of them. I really like the softness of light it provides when I shoot this way. Also used a reflector below him to catch any available light.
He looks very alive with curiosity. I like how the eyes are bright. Great job on the improvised diffused lighting, and your use of the reflector really adds to the professionalism.
