Taking a break from my music work, I recently did a spec shoot, working with color and some hair / makeup tests.
For anyone interested in the lighting, most of it was a beauty dish on a boom, high and only slightly off camera axis. The effects mostly came from gels. Some shots had side-lights, others with a light directly behind the model.
