yeah, so i've got this mirror on the wall, and it's always throwing these reflections from my flashes across the room, so i'll be taking pictures, and the first five or so always have this square of light being projected into them or something. so i have to cover the mirror, and i usually just grab whatever scarf alisia left downstairs to do it.
so for this, i figured i'd stand next to said mirror and scarf, and use it sort of as a graphic compositional element. since i'm in the corner, it's tough to get an umbrella or my big softbox up in there as a light source, so i just went hard with it from a flash clamped to the stairs camera left. then i propped my 32" trigrip up at my feet with a flash behind it for uplight/fill/whatever, and fired away.
i didn't think it would look that great, so i didn't take a setup shot. but i kinda like this. the light is harder than my face can handle, but i dig the odd shadows being thrown by the scarf, and the too-strong uplighting gives it a bit of a different feel. so that's it. quick, wasn't it?
