Hello:

I shot this last night as part of an 'alphabet soup' shoot.

18  http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29397013

I used a 4'x1' strip soft box from the left and a 6' octabox to the front and about 8' above the llama. The light ratio was 2:1 (strip:octabox).

I wanted to keep it in colour because of the model's red hair. The prop is slightly retouched to clear bad marks, but otherwise the image is direct off the sensor.

I think the model's arms would have been better if they were parallel to the ground, but otherwise I like this image.

Comments would be welcome.

Many Thanks, JT

Technically, the right side of the model gets no light and recedes into the background.

Content-wise - the model is nice though I'd rather see her face. If you got the letter-shape you wanted, there isn't much more to say about it.

I agree that a rim light on the model's right side may improve it slightly, but I like it just the way it is!

Many thanks for you comments. At high res Jennifer's outline can just be seen, but it could be clearer.

Many thanks for your comments. I agree that a rim would improve it slightly, but I too like it just as it is.
