Another shot from the day I got to rub my buddies face down in the dirt. It was a beautiful day.
Jokes aside, this is from that day but we carefully rubbed the dirt on. One of the last angles turned out to be one of the better. Letting his wondrous inner animal out often turns out good, and it did this time too.
I had a speedlight go off with a remote from a small opening in the cave a couple of meters above the model on full strenght, slightly aimed for the reflector standing just out of frame to hit some light back and light up his side a little more. Success!
