Monia Vs Speedlights

Monia indoors at No 6. The shadows where created with an un-diffused cranked up speedlight at head height to the right. Another speedlight with diffusing umbrella was placed above her head pointing down. Both lights were less that a meter away from her. I love the deliberate harsh shadows, there is way more to play with using this technique. 

Having a play with some branding and adding graphics. The idea was to use the shoot for a sunglasses ad. This is a start but I think the photograph is losing its presence slightly against the advertising. I am looking through tones of ads to find a balance in the product and the advertising. It is so varied!
