@sandy: Hi Sandy,

Thanks for the comment.

Here's the info as requested:

One flash head to the right (and slightly forward and above Sarah) with a soft box attached. Creates nice 'catch lights'. Another flash head to the rear with a beauty dish to give an 'edge light' to the face and hair. Black foamex board (the sort used by Estate Agents when they erect 'For Sale' signs) to the left to kill any overspill of light. A real simple but effective set-up.

Converted to B & W in Photoshop using the Duotone feature.

Hope this helps and thanks again for the much appreciated comment.

Paul

PS: Worth noting that the same effect can also be achieved using off camera flash should you not own studio lights.
