This was shot for a wonderful singer who's launching into a solo career after being part of another band for some years.

Here I used an Elinchrom Ranger with 1m Octobox to light her from the Top/Side and used a red gelled 580exii from behind firing directly towards the camera to give a stage/live feel.

In the end we found 5-6 shots we were really with, this is one of them.

I thought this was underrated by voters. Great shot. I can't tell if her skin is naturally that smooth or if that was helped in post-processing.

Heartfelt. Lovely light and focus. Hard to get an attractive capture of someone singing but the intensity of the emotion carries this. 8 Voted earlier.

I really like the image you two made. From the quality and angle of lighting you chose. Too the effort of the young singer. Great job. Being picky, I wonder if the visible flash, would have been better, hidden behind the mic. I just find it slightly distracting. Although, I do like the flare it creates. mmmm....

But yeah, nice job guys!

Great light on her face and hands, although the actual light on the left is totally distracting

What absolutely wonderful lighting that captures the look and feel of Tess singing on stage. Love the action and the detail captured in this shot.
