Had to update this after the challenge started as I uploaded this picture 2 minutes before the challenge.
Not an easy setup by any means,
Strobist:
1 Alienbees800 camera left 45 degree lowest power.
1 Vivitar 285HV camera left 60 degree gelled half CTO to give warm color to the skin.
1 Vivitar 285HV camera left in an umbrella 1/16power for full.
1 Canon Dex II behind the canvas for back light set at 1/16.
All triggered wireless via Cybersyn transceiver.
Post Processing:
I tried to get it all right from the beginning so nothing much is done.
Open sRAW in Adobe CS4, add contrast, warmth, then Level, for more contrast and masked out the body, dodge the white areas and the eyes, blur the skin a little, neat image, USM, add borders and save for web.
I hope you like it as much as I liked working on it.
