My brother in law is a bit bashful when it comes to Christmas wishes and has very few. I figured a picture of my sister in law would be a good gift, and luckily, she obliged to sit for me:

Inspiration was a picture of Marlene Dietrich by George Hurrell.

Here's how I (un)pack it when setting up:

The small roller to the left holds standard 7" reflectors, an Aputure Fresnell attachment, strobe extenders, barn doors, filters, and honeycomb grids for the standard reflectors and other accessories. The roller next to it holds four Godox AD600TTL, the large roller to the right holds stands, two octoboxes with eggcrate grids a Lastolite Triflector II and a couple of superclamps. The alumimium suitcase on the floor holds two metal bowl beauty dishes with metal honeycomb grids, a 41" five-in-one reflector, a Godox foldable beauty dish with eggcrate grid for the Godox AD200 Pro and a mirror for the model to check appearance.
The tripod is a Sirui N-3203X with K-30X ballhead. Out of the picture I as boom stand and a stand with a smaller and lighter boom attached.
For camera and lenses, see my gear list.

Here's the whole setup. The room is 5x7m but at 16mm looks larger. Main light is an AD200 Pro with the folding BD, hair- and shoulder light is an AD600 with a 16" BD, the background light is another AD600 with the Aputure Fresnell. The light stand you can see to the left of the model holds a large flag that shades the back of the chair. The background is presented here.

Love it. The image. The bts. The gear porn. :-)
 
Very nice portraiture. I really also appreciate the behind the scenes look for just 1 photo. I'm sure some people might look at the top picture and think, shot with an iPhone with 5 seconds of setup time....

Great information to tuck in my back pocket to learn more tools and tricks when shooting indoor and controlling the light.
 
Thank you Matt. Many were shot, but few were chosen :-D
 
Thank you Karen. Your words mean a lot.
 
Thank you Charles. Appreciate your recognition.
 
Very Cool shot... and very nice studio... I wish I had so much room !

Cheers,

Jean

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

It's only a studio when it's not our living room. The whole setup sleeps on shelves in my study/office when not in use, so setting up is quite a job, not to mention tear down.
