3.17 - "Solid" 

For this shot I was going for a yin and yang effect. I used 2x3' octaboxes with a Godox AD200 Pro in each one. Camera right had a blue gel and camera left had a pink gel. It was shot using a white backdrop and I feathered the lights across the models face and had a white reflector each side placed behind and to the side of the model to reflect the light onto the backdrop as much as possible.

In post I cleaned up the skin a bit and enhanced the backdrop colours to make them pop more (specifically the pink side as it wasn't as strong as the blue side).

I used a Sony A73 with a Sony 90mm macro lens. Settings were 1/250 - f8 - ISO 100

I enjoy a split background separated by the subject. Reversing the colors on the face is even more interesting. Well done!
