Description I mentioned that I tried out some new light setups in this shoot and this was one of the first "brand new" setups for me in quite some time. I have been getting a little TOO comfortable with the ring light, I fear!

It deviates from my usual three point lighting so it's a bit out of my comfort zone and style, but I love how it turned out and I can see myself using it again, for sure!

As main light I had a Yongnuo YN560 Speedlite flash in a 60cm square softbox to his right on a boom stand, quite close to him at a downward angle.

As second light I had a Canon Speedlite 580EX II flash in a 2 meter high strip box with a grid on, behind him and pointing inwards at him.

Model: Ren Cronje
Agency: Boss Models
Location: Studio, Johannesburg, South Africa

I love his shirt, where'd he get it? Did you tell him to pull his model face by any chance? I've never seen men have big lips like that, very Angelina Jolie without her being attached to them... which is always a big bonus.

Not sure at all where he got the shirt, unfortunately. No model face, his lips are naturally full.

Life, eh? I know a few people who would kill to have those kind of lips. Luck of the draw x10.

I have the but not the technical knowledge to say if this new lighting is at it best, but I can say this shot has a crisp Beauty to it!! The detail in all the material the slight shadowing around the contours of his face all Beautifully done!!!

His brow gives him such a distinguished look very regal like Christopher Lambert just with fuller poutty lips Ha!!
