 Not sure where the quote is from, can't remember.

This is one of my favorite portraits from the year that was. Her name is Amanda.

One strobe (sb-800) fired through umbrella directly overhead. If i did it over again, i might have reflected a bit of light from underneath, but i really like the mood the one light created in this image.

Not expecting much from this submission as I'm certain this challenge will be packed with stunning images.

Beautiful soft light and expression. Love the close crop. I wish there was a hint more light on the eye. 10

Lovely dark portrait. The use of the lighting makes her features stand out better. Her eye pops out enough to create a mood and good job filling the frame!
