Portraits/Expressions

Studio shot with a model, aiming to capture a low key, dark moody shot using a chain mail prop for a medieval look. The model to look as if she is emerging from the darkness.
Taken with a single studio light with a softbox and grid very close to the model (from the right, model's left) to achieve a drop off of light across her face and to have little if any light on the background.
Shot with a Sony SLT99ii and a Zeis 135mm prime lens. f5.0, 1/125, iso 100.
Post processing includes some minor global adjustments in LR, some cloning in PS to extend the chain mail, some minor skin softening using NIK software, then finishing off with tweaking the levels.
