My beautiful wife!
Today I practiced some new lighting techniques on Ilona. Thanks babe! I used two Canon 580ex speedlites attached to a shoot through umbrella and a silver reflector to bounce some of the light back into the shadow side of the face. I then created a high key effect in Photoshop and saturated the colours in one and the other I turned black and white. The background is a balcony window. Camera was 40D and camera settings - Aperture f2.8, Shutter speed 1/200, ISO 400, Focal length 200mm, lens used Canon 70-200 2.8 L IS. The photo took less than 10 mins to shoot and 5 mins in Photoshop CS3.
