2.45 - "Needs Work" 

For this shot I used a 2 light setup which I honestly use a lot of the time. To camera right I had a large piece of scrim material stretched out around 12 feet wide and shot a Godox AD400 Pro with a 7" silver reflector though it as my fill light. This was placed about 8-10 feet away from the model. For the main light I used another AD400 Pro in a 20" white beauty dish which I placed much closer to the model and also to camera right (but very slightly). I also added a large rectangular soft white reflector to model right to push some light back onto that side of her hair.

I don't like changing much in post because I feel the more you do the faker an image starts to look. A little bit of skin cleaning and D&B along with colour correction were necessary.

I used a Sony A73 with a Tamron 28-75mm lens set to 75mm. Settings were 1/250 - f6.3 - ISO 250
