My living room is not very big, but with some improvisation and the compact form of the speedlites, it’s possible to create some interesting portraits. In this shoot, the make-up artist Daisy van Winkel said “I’m going to make it interesting for you… I hope you like it shinning”. Then, the clockwork started turning on how to cope with a highly reflective make-up and make it stand out.
My solution was to surround the model with light, ‘wrapping’ her with light all around not only in the left-right-up-down plane, but also mixing directions from the back and the front as you see in this “aereal” of the setup:

I don’t know how it all fitted there, leaving still some room for her to stand in front of the ad-hoc Ikea background. We had to jump around the light stands to move around but it’s all part of the fun
Thanks to Delphine for the modelling.
