This shot was a 3 light setup as follows:




Key light - Paul C. Buff Digibee with barn doors to flag the light. To create the crisp shadow on Allee’s face I also had a @vflatworld v-flat that I purposely didn’t close all the way so there was a gap that created a shadow with a hard edge.

Rim/Hair Light - Another Digibee with a gridded strip box and a blue gel.

Background Light - Yet another Digibee with a snoot and a blue gel on a Savage Universal fashion gray seamless.
