The photo was taken in beginning darkness. Setting the white balance to tungsten gave an overall blue look. To retain the models natural color, I used a (orange) CTO gel in the beauty dish. The beautydish was gridded and placed pretty close to the model (just outside view) to avoid spilling the light elsewhere on the image. The light from the back was ungelled and shot through glass bricks. Ambient light came through an opening in the back.

The model is "Ophelie Gabel".
