Actually they were shot with a single overhead direct flash unit. No bounce at all and no fill light. The lights were mounted in the ceiling at that time. The meter was a singer stroble meter. I still have it and used it yesterday.
The single direct light always gives the subject much better contrast. I know direct light isn't in fashion but when used at a far enough seperation from the subject it is very good safe lighting.
The shot came from the days when color was whatever the lab said it was. I scanned this negs so it was a lot of color correcting and I just got tired of it.
By the time I realized I was bored and wanted to go back to work most of my negatives had been trashed. All the ones on my website are either from the retro camera series or just happened to be in a file cabinet I forgot to clean out years ago. This is part of the old file cabinet. Just for the heck of it I'm going to post another one from the old file cabinet that is purely a gun for hire shot.
