Two White Lightnings X1600's. One in a 64" PLM and the other in a Beauty Dish overhead.

I absolutely love this.

Thank you Logan!

Interested to hear why you went with two lights instead of a one light, dramatic setup. Genuinely curious! Not criticizing, I think it's a lovely image.

I used the PLM camera left feathered to the point where the light was not reaching the other side where I wanted it. I also used a few pieces of black foam core to flag where i didn't want it and soak up some of the light. I eventually brought in a beauty dish overhead camera right angled a bit down to fill in where I wanted to see more detail and to get more light on the background as I didn't want it completely dark. I hope that is clear enough to answer your question. If not let me know. Thanks for the comments!

That clears that up, thank you! Well done.

the color grading here is perfect!

Thank you Wadih!
