The original photo was taken on a white background during sunny day with diffused sunlight. I had to recreate it in my studio. So, I lit model using warm light with a large shoot-through umbrella, used two black V-flats, and placed a single strobe behind the model to light the white background. I used also diffusion filter to get more halation, to recreate vintage 70's lens. Then i edited photo in Capture One, Evoto and Affinity.
