Stunning results, Rafal! An aesthetic wonder of a headshot that hits all the marks I want to see in this style of image. I love the use of the compression at 200mm with the art in the background, as well as shooting through the window and making great use of lines within your shoot area.

Question: Did you gel the (speedlites? how may watts/s?) with a CTO to get the background such a nice blue or was it done in post?
