I'm very happy to announce that I received an Honorable Mention this week, in Week 17 of the Steemit weekly Portrait Photography contest!
"Freddy 02"
Lighting info: Lit entirely with two small speedlights. Each of the two lights do two things in the shot. The main light is diffused and shot through a white umbrella, to light the bright side of the face, while allowing the far side of the face to fade into the shadows. It's also creating the white glimmer on the claws. The secondary light is gelled orange and shot bare (un-diffused). It's placed camera-right, almost behind the model, only slightly higher than eye level, and aimed at the white wall behind her. It's creating the edge light on her hat, as well as creating the circular orange glow on the white wall. Fired with Pocketwizards.
The location is an old haunted building's condemned second and third floor, in the little town of Dallas, Oregon. Historically, the building was a bustling hotel, that partially survived a devastating downtown fire in the late 1800's or early 1900's, and rebuilt. Today, the street level is a dive bar, and the upper two levels are condemned. To give you an idea of the state of the building: one of the rooms is about 50% beehive. Yes, you read that correctly. We probably shouldn't have been up there!
Thank you to @jasonrussell for organizing the weekly portrait photography contest, @katyalexis for being the guest judge, and @erodedthoughts & @melodyrussell for sponsoring the event. This is a great weekly contest that I would love to see continue.
