About Photography

To light this scene I used two tungsten lights, a 650w behind and off to the right, and a 375w to add fill light from the front.  Both lights shine directly onto the subject to provide a harsh, candid light. Additionally, the back light is allowed to flare out into the camera lens.  I also allowed the lights to retain their warm color by balancing the color for daylight. Photographed with a Nikon D800 and 105mm macro lens with wide open aperture.
