Peach colored silk and almond eyes. Shot today in the studio.

Nailed it! Beautiful shot.

Beauty. I am also going to start referring to my eyes as almond instead of my usual s%*& brown.

Simply beautiful!!

What did you use for reflector? From the reflection in eyes, it seems something like Larry Peter's Eyelighter.

I had never seen that before. Quite the piece of hardware! The set up

Yeah, I noticed that too. I guess I'll stick with my trigrip.

Thanks for the comments and kind words.

Phanee, yes, this is what I would have used if I had one. But I don't, so I used a DIY curved reflector. I bought a roll of buble foil insulation from a hardware store, cut about 4ft, glued a wooden piece at each end to mount it on a light stand, and used that as a curved reflector. With unlimited funds I would buy the EyeLighter as it's a good piece of equipment.

Nice! I like your method better.

Nice DIY setup, worked out perfectly. Thanks for sharing your setup.

Incredible lighting as always Paco. What did you use for your main, octabox directly in front and slightly overhead of the model? Trying to judge by the catchlights I can't tell if it's an umbrella or octa. I would love to make an attempt to replicate this look as it is beautiful.

Thanks for the comments, guys. It is a 5 ft ungridded Photoflex octadome softbox about three feet above in front and above her, on a boom, and the DIY silver under her. The background was lit separately.

So I had it pretty much pegged, I am starting to figure out this whole reverse engineering thing! Lol, thanks for being so helpful as always Paco, your work is an inspiration and I like that you always are willing to share your setups to help others :)
