Test Shoot

These first 3 images were shot using low light, balanced soft box's on the background, a beauty dish to the models left and a fill honeycomb to the right to stop dark shadows falling on the models face. 

I wanted to experiment with red gels to create a subtle cast on the image. I initially placed the Gel on the beauty dish which turned the model bright red as it was light by the key light. 

Instead a placed the gel on just one of the soft boxes casting a subtle glow on the background, I think this is my favourite use of the red. 

I changed the light set up and used a beauty dish and a large dish with a defuser, the dish with the diffuser had the red gel to create a larger but slightly more subtle glow.
