Hello Hera Bell,
I hope you could have shoot him DURING the dancing...
In this picture, may be the light in his neck is not perfect but picture in general is beautiful
I like it :thumbup:

I will share the rest of the shoot soon. Actually he was doing movements, when I saw the shot I told him to freeze.

The lighting on the neck. It is covered by the black wig he had. No shadow, it is the part of the wig. Is that what you mean?

Although I'd placed a hairlight on the 2nd picture, I like both pictures very much!
thank you for posting ...

Yes, I agree withthe need for a hair light, and even another light for rim coming from back camera left. But I think the shots are great. Dancers make awesome subjects.

Playing with digital gels...

In the old times I had to use color gels on my stobes. Today's digital era I do it in PS. Why limit ourselves, if the technology is there?

What do you think? C&C are welcome.
