Shot in my old home studio in 2007 with Canon 20D and notoriously slow focusing but very sharp old Sigma 70mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
22" beauty dish main light, 6x4 ft softbox camera left, 7" silver reflector camera left and behind at 45 degrees angle.
New processing of original RAW file in DxO PureRAW, Lightroom and Photoshop. B&W conversion in Nik Silver Efex.
