BEHIND THE SHOOT

I wanted to go for a clean, high-key look but with a harsh shadow behind my subject. I used one light only, and I removed a Diffuser from my Octabox to get those harsh shadows. The benefits of using the Reflex in my work are the setup time, being able to easily capture movements of my subject without missing a shot, and achieving great results with only one light.
