Slow day today so I decided to play with my lights. I usually keep my lights pretty simple but after seeing a few videos of photographer Jill Greenberg at work on Strobist, I got inspired to experiment a little. So here is a portrait from start to finish.
The first set of lighting are two Nikon strobes that act as hard rim light.
The next light is a Norman 200b head with umbrella box that will provide the main light.
Another Nikon with a blue gel aimed at a thunder grey background.
The finished portrait with a little cleaning up.
The final image with some Photoshop to give it a Dave Hill sharpness to it. The whole image becomes a bit cooler (in temperature) and the highlights look metallic. Neat effect.
What it all looks like set up.

Great shot, mind me asking what you did in PS to get that super cool look to the photo? Thanks for the set up info, that is great to see for someone, like me, that is learning.
