Taken during an interactive lighting demo at school. We each had the opportunity to shoot the model during each lighting set-up. It's not the most unique image I took this month, but I know my other option would get murdered, and I like it too much for that! I like the expression I got from the model in this image.

Simple clean portrait I am sure the model is extremely happy with. Though for this type of challenge it does not offer enough for me to give it two looks. Sure its clean, lighting is nice, and the colours work. Just nothing behind it.
