@gooner46 thanks for your kind words...solid color dark backdrop of course, 2 Canon Speedlights - one on stand with umbrella above and slightly behind subject, 2nd on small stand below and slightly to the side...was early evening so precious little ambient light to work with.

[Richard Sayer]

Superb, dark moody portrait... a no-brainer Fav for this one.

[Salt Water Woman]

Very powerful, emotive portrait. The lightimg is great. I don't have speedlites myself, but makes me want to invest in them. Fav!

By the way the @xxxxxx in the textbox under the image, doesn't appear in the notifications.That is why we use it in the comment box. Hope I make sense.
