Dia de los Muertos - Calaveras

Hey all, first post in the group! :)

Lit this with a single Alien Bees B800. These two ladies showed up at my studio as shown in the portrait. Jojo, the model on the left is a friend and former muse and the rightmost, her friend who did the makeup from a YouTube tutorial and styled the makeup and hair for a Day of the Dead themed shoot.

Looks great, my first thoughts were the typical....separation from the background would be nice, and no catch light in the eyes of model on left....which are both great for portraiture. But then I thought, wait as second, this is Day of the frick'n Dead. No catch lights and coming out of the dark are perfect for this image. (Yes I see the catch lights in model on the right's eyes, and the small ones on the left) It's a cool image. Wish the model on the left had longer hair to hide more of her skin (like the one on the right) to help keep focus on the face and makeup, but that is nit picky of course, whatcha gonna do. Thanks for posting.
