I photographed actress Bettina Skye for an Orange Magazine story recently. She came across as a very dramatic and talented actress so I wanted to create a dramatic portrait. I used a 3 light setup on a black background. The main light was to camera left gridded so it only fell on her upper body. Then I had a second light behind her to create a spotlight on the floor and a bit of edge lighting on her. The third light was on the background creating a second spotlight behind her. Overall I was pretty happy with the outcome. The look on her face was perfect for the portrait as well.
