This was Difficult!

This is a super lucky capture. First the light for this image was coming from the 7-foot umbrella with the soft box acting as a light fill. Then to capture the image my husband/assistant stood off to my right with a deck of playing cards then threw them in front of the model. This image was captured completely in camera, and cards were not Photoshop’ed in. What makes this an incredibly lucky capture is that the queen of hearts ended up right next to the model’s face. I couldn’t do that again even if I tried. During post processing I cropped the image, did standard edits, and slightly brightened the models face. I finished the image off with a light vignette and added a blue (highlight)/green (shadow) color grade to the image. The green in the shadow is very subtle to help balance the red, while the blue helped to balance the oranges.
