2.44 - "Needs Work" 

Method: Shot this photo through a paint drop sheet that I taped up to some light stands. The highlight lines are from the creases in the dropsheet.

Lighting: I used a large diffusion panel behind the subject, smoothing out the background and giving a bit of backlighting. Used one RGB LED panel from neewer on the right side of the subject, and an RGB neewer studio light above the subject. Used a second RGB LED panel on the left side of the subject to blast a bit of red on the face.

Gear: Sony A7iii, Sony 85mm 1.8f.

Post-processing: Photoshop edit, texture overlays, grain, gradient map to punch up the reds.

Story behind the photo, I've been playing with distortion in my edits. I'm a big fan of glitch art and have been exploring ways to tastefully incorporate distortion into my photos.
