This is my classmate Ivy Ashe, whose portrait I took. As you can see, the saturation and exposure were just a bit off. It's too bad we can't adjust levels. However, it was one of the few times where she wasn't smiling. I asked her about why she liked photography and about her home state of Connecticut and she dropped the pose.
I was shooting for Rembrandt lighting. I had one softbox at a 45 degree angle to her set up high to eliminate any glare on her glasses. To her right for fill I had a white reflector. Behind her was another strobe pointed to reflect off the floor covered by a blue gel. I had to keep stopping it down to keep her blonde hair from glowing.
