I bought a new beauty dish and reflector at the weekend so it was great to try out this new technique with Violet Raven when she came to visit yesterday.
I fixed the dish to my Gemini 500 head and raised it to about 8ft above the ground almost directly above the model. I then got her to position herself so the light just caught her facial feature, but left her eyes in the shadows.

Such a amazing model, and lovely photographs. More of Violet raven can be found @violetraven.eu =)
