What this setup creates
A female model in a studio setting, lit with a three-light setup including a key octabox, a fill umbrella, and a background light with a blue gel. The final images feature a dramatic, artistic mood with cool tones and a blue background gradient.
Light placement
Key light: camera left, 45 degrees towards model. Fill light: high, directly in front of model. Background light: camera right, slightly behind model.
How to build it
Seamless white paper backdrop is used. Blue color gel on the Background light creates a blue gradient on the background.
