New Studio Backdrop

Some time ago I got a new collapsible background from an online retailer and since then it has been sitting behind my regular backdrop while I got on with the time consuming daily routine that fills our lives. I have just started two weeks of leave time and my pledge was to spend more time behind the camera. Hence... out with the unused backdrop, camera, flashes and the plastic model. All pics taken with my D850, 24-120mm f4 lens, three Nikon Speed-lights, one shot through a large soft-box for the main light and two small light shapers for the back accent lights one of which had a blue filter added for effect. All were triggered via an SU-800 Nikon wireless commander.

Final image first:

 
Next a "pullback" shot to show the rear accent lights and the main light on the right: 

Next up with only the main light: 

 ...and one with only the rear accent lights:

The last two pics are just to show what happens when one changes the point of view lower and higher:

All in all I think the backdrop gives a very pleasing effect with it's warm colours and sets off the blue highlight colour quite nicely.
