Headshots of New York Dancer Gabriel King

New York Dancer Gabriel King hired me specifically to execute the look above after he saw images online from my photoshoots with Gravity backdrops.

I lit the image using two different soft modifiers in a clam shell position and then added a hard light to create drama. Then I removed the hard light from the formula and created the image below.

I used my Profoto Pro6 pack, Pro 7 heads, a Photek Softlighter II 46-Inch Umbrella and a Elinchrom 39″ Rotalux Deep OctaBox.
