World Cup

My sister in law got a Mexican T shirt and wanted a picture for her face book profile. I got a black background and 2 lights along with one white card.

The main light was a Canon 580 EXII set on manual at 1/2 power to camera  left set on a 2x2 latolite soft box. The second light was a bare 430 EXII also manual power at 1/8 on a high stand zoomed in and pointing to her head and shoulders and the white card on her lap.

The lights were triggered with Pocket wizards Flex TT5 and mini

Tack sharp image. Very good portrait. She has every reason to be happy when Mexico trounced France in World Cup today.

Outstanding portrait of an amazing light , wishing you all of the best.

Excellent control of the light, Alex. As you explain us, the image show the result. Best regards.

Nice light and great sharpness, lovely work.

Best regards Tore

Very nice portrait, the light is excellent unfortunatly she isn't seeing to the front, it would have been fantastic. Any way is a good picture, especially because she is wearing the Mexican t shirt, which all Mexicans we are very proud of it.
Viva Mexico!!!!!!!
Saludos cordiales Alex para ti y tu hermana.

Excelente retrato. Magnifico encuadre y expresion captada, con una sensacional luz, tonos y detalle. ++

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Alex, this Foto is really well done, with the light, colors and mood. Nice work. Regards. Dara

Excelente foto, me gusta el ángulo, muy original, detalles,colores y luz perfectas. Mi sobrina no se ha podido conseguir esta camiseta negra de la selección mexicana, causó sensación este nuevo uniforme.

Un abrazo.
