Thanks a lot ! Kinda simple, an Octa for a Rembrandt, and a dish for rimlight ;-)

Nice lighting and editing. To me it doesn't look "overly edited" and still has some natural qualities about it. What was your setup for this?

Thanks ! I've tried to preserve the most natural look I could, and I'm quite happy of the result ! I've used a 70-200mm lense, and lightened with two Elinchrom D-Lite RX4 heads, one with a Rotalux Octa Deep 70cm (I don't know the equivalence in inches, sorry...), and a reflector dish + grid for a slight rimlight on the neck and ear !

agreed with all the others, love the lighting and mood. Sharpness around the eyes and there are nicely lit up, great shot!

Hey Anthony! Great shot! What "new" techniques did you use? Frequency separation? IHP?

Hey ! No frequency separation, that's the novelty of this one, juste dodging and burning all along, and a little touch of healing brush tool, I thought it was much natural and genuine like that ;-)

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
