This colourful one was shot in hard light (a single gridded reflector). We were using it for some edgier grunge fashion looks and I grabbed that portrait one too. This other one is with 'clamshell' lighting with a beauty dish and fill. This is lovely wrap around flattering light and has been popular in studios for some time of course. http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/155286560 I am really finding each time more and more that the M and the M9 too work very well for fashion/portraiture in a studio.
