Shot outdoors on a public pathway with trees and bushes lit by sun in the background.
I used Nikon Z5 + 85mm 1.8S and two YongNuo speedlights (one in 37 inch octabox and second one in 16inch round softbox) + 30inch reflector close to the octabox / main light. Minimal retouch - just skin blemishes taken out as well as flyaway hair plus a subtle colour grading.
Of course, the main focus was on the work with the girl who followed my direction to the T and nailed the expression I was after in this case.

I like this one, its very well executed cinematic headshot. Background isnt distracting and her pose and attitude in expression is nice. You get great jaw line and squinch.
Thank you Jakub. I really appreciate your comments which reflect what I was going after in this shot.
