Hands by the Face

[Ernst-Ulrich Schafer]

This has been a "Personal Project" of mine ever since getting into Portraiture.
It came from the study of Alfred Steglitz and the portraits he did of his wife Georgia Okeefe.

Very nice. Love the two lighting source result.

Lovely light indeed! Would you mind sharing your setup?

[Ernst-Ulrich Schafer]

Thanks guys.

Crystal, Pretty simple set up. Main Softbox camera right at a 45% angle, back edge at his shoulders and then feathered. Two strip lights in the background on each side. Reflector on camera left.

My guess was close, just missed the strip lights
Thank You!
