Description I noticed during the shoot that Ren had the whole Clark Kent thing going with the glasses, so I played on that a little with this shot.

I used two Canon Speedlite 580EX II flashes in 2 meter high strip boxes with grids on and colored cellophane to get the pink highlights. As main light I used a Yongnuo YN560 Speedlite flash head in a 60cm square softbox, placed really close to his face. It was above him, pointing down at quite a steep angle.


Model: Ren Cronje
Agency: Boss Models
Location: Studio, Johannesburg, South Africa

So intense...

but I think the pink on the right is a little distracting? It's bright compared to the rest

It is a bit brighter than the other side, but he was leaning over closer to that light than the other. Doesn't look overexposed on any of my screens - LCD, LED and iPad. I'm a bit anal when it comes to exposure and brightness, so I tend to check it to death

I noticed that! You're very careful in your work
I didn't mean overexposed, I just meant the color is brighter there. At first glance, my eyes seem to gravitate to the right a little more.

what insipiers your work?

Oh goodness. I get inspiration from all over the show - here on dA, 500px.com, TV, movies, the 'net - everywhere. We're bombarded with information these days, so inspiration is easy to find. Sometimes a shoot will take on a life of it's own, like this one did. I noticed the resemblance to Clark Kent and rolled with it
