Making Of: Addiction
A simple setup was used for this show. It involves only one external flash and a simple reflective umbrella.
Why reflective and not a shoot trough?
With a shoot trough i would have better light on the subject's face but not on the smoke. I wanted stronger shadows to emphasize facial characteristics.
In other situations a "shoot trough" umbrella will fare better.
