Description
I did a lot of experimenting with lighting in this shoot and got some really cool effects
In this setup I turned the two Canon Speedlite 580EX II flashes (in 2 meter high softboxes with grids on) that I normally have behind my models inwards and moved Lysle back against the wall, so he was between the two lights.
In front of him, I had a 48cm Ring Light (65W) but in addition to that, I also had a Yongnuo YN560 Speedlite flash in a 60cm square softbox about a meter in front of him, high up on a boom stand, pointing down at him. The light wasn't right above him, so it was falloff light from the side of the softbox - a little trick I learned from Joey Lawrence
Model: Lysle Turner
Location: Studio, Johannesburg, South Africa

haven't been on here in ages, but always refreshing to see what you've been up to! This photo looks so immaculate that there really isn't much more to comment about. I think your lighting was spot on, and that background is so bold, I absolutely love it! You say he was standing against the wall, but it looks like there is quite some depth between him and the wall. Either way, 10/10 on this. I'm hoping absolutely minimal editing was done afterwards?

Thanks Shaun
He was leaning back against the wall, yeah. The illusion that he's far away is created by the ring light; it does this really nifty thing with shadows on the wall that makes the model look like they're standing out, almost like 3D. So the background is not Photoshopped, no
Only 'shopping that was done was skin cleanup, color and contrast adjustments and extending the background a little to get the 16x9 ratio.

As usual, beautiful lighting that accents the model's form as well as colors and textures.
