dark temptation

This is a closeup we shot during a more artistic fashion session. Lighting was pretty simple: a large softbox using as backdrop and to create some lens flare. to get more detail I added a gridded snoot onto the face. Lighting still is pretty harsh and required some retouching but I personally like the soft look created by powering up the back light fighting the high contrast and harsh shadows on the face.
The picture was taken on an old medium format with an 120mm macro lens.
