Portrait contest week 25 entry 2, Black and white

Here's a photo from 2017 of Rachael, a local dance instructor. We've shot several times together and I'm always amazed at how natural she is with pose and posture.

Lit in a two light setup. Key light is a slightly overhead 53" Elinchrom Rotalux, fill light is a medium sized white reflector just out of frame below and the background light is a socked 22" white beauty dish. This can be replicated easily with speedlights and brolly boxes, or any medium size softbox. Background is a 9 foot roll of thunder grey seamless paper.
