Another one from the Temptation: A Girl And Her Apple shoot.

I'm pretty sure the apple is not a Northern Spy variety, by the way. I just like the name. :-)

I was out location scouting for the Tres Amigas shoot when I bumped into my neighbor Iryna who I had done some portraits of way back in July 2011. She said we simply must shoot again this summer, so seizing the carpe by the diem, I arranged for her to come over on Monday.

Sadly, I didn't think to take a BTS of the setup for this. Iryna was literally boxed-in: her back is to sheer curtains with a Pentax AF540 flash behind, three white foam-core boards inches to either side and chest-high below her, Apollo 28" softbox firing down from in front and slightly above into the "box". Me shooting under the softbox from a tripod.
