I tested a lot of different techniques that I have picked up over the past few months in this photo.
Set up:
Softbox with Canon 580EXII behind and right to the right of the model to fill in the shadows. Main light source was a strip box with a white lightning strobe to the left of the model. Backlight to blow out the wall was a bare white lightning strobe placed behind a makeshift wall to block it from spilling onto the subject. Unfortunately I don't remember the power settings. I did however borrow a Sekonic 308 light meter to get my exposure just right without having to tinker too much.
Post Processing:
I used Zack Arias technique of putting a colored vignette around the subject. Just noticed that the colors don't show up that well on the blog, but you get the idea.
That's cool! I'm gonna have to check out Zarias site. Thanks for the heads up.
