This image is backlit by 3 bare speed-lights (camera-right, camera-left, opposite the couple). I was holding a monopod tricked out with a B800 in a 36” octo just above the couple’s heads - my traps were aching! I shot this with a 5D Mk II and 50mm 1.4. This shot is why I don’t leave home without a C-stand anymore.
