Hey friends! For this set with Gardelina I only used 1 light - an Aputure 600x with standard reflector and barn doors. The idea was to make the set dramatic and pretty dark and to emphasize her abs (I had some inspiration pictures saved from an instagram influencer which led to this set and outfit).
The light was set from the further right corner of the cyclorama and to keep the light source small and reduce the spilling, I closed the barn doors almost completely, so it was only a very little slit of light, which also led to the interesting shadows down on the floor as you can see on the final photos. Aputure 600x was running on full power, but because the light slit was so small, I had to push the camera to ISO 1600, f.2.5-4 and 1/125-1/200 shutterspeed.
I wanted to keep the shadow side of the model dark and contrasty, so I had some black curtains on the left side of the set as negative fill.
I attached the preset for this shoot for Capture One :)
