this is like an extreme rim light shot. two flashes, each one behind a shoulder, pointed at my face. that left a big shadow on my eye-nose-mouth area, which i solved with a flash low camera left into a big piece of white posterboard reflected up into my face.
i'm not usually a fan of the oversharpened look, but i thought it was appropriate for this shot since it has such a hard edge. to get it, i cranked up the "clarity" slider in lightroom, and did a quick b/w conversion. adjusted my levels, and that's it. job well done.
all the flashes are at 1/4 power. more info in the metadata.
