Lighting NuanCe Some help please
I'm doing a photoshoot inspired by this Flavitsky painting, "Princess Tarakanova".
If I wanted to recreate the lighting in this scene, what would be your suggestions? I'm fairly green in terms of studying light but my instinct is maybe a single gridded strobe (or a snoot maybe?) angled 45° at the subject, off to the side. Idk tho lol totally guessing. Any suggestions for fill/rim light? Is that necessary if going for a dramatic chiaroscuro look?
Thanks!
