AI notes

Four-light setup: beauty dish as key, snoot for hair light, and two red-gelled lights for the background, creating a soft red gradient. The model is lit to create a clean but not overtly dramatic shadow style. Appears to be a seamless paper background (white, initially) with color gels providing the red.
