To create this photograph, Tom
Suhler used a white translucent
background illuminated by a
Hensel Integra 500 Pro Plus
monolight with a 7-inch metal
reflector and a 30-degree grid
covered with a blue gel. He then
placed another Hensel monolight
with a snoot to create the irregu-
lar shape of white light in the
center of the background. Tom
then placed two Hensel mono-
lights, one on each side of the
models, fitted with medium
Chimera Super Pro Plus strips.
The strip lights were adjusted
to give just a small amount of
accent lighting on the models’
sides, allowing for deeper shad-
ows. The models (Cal Lilly, Lysa
N., and Marie C) were also posed
so the white light in the center
would fall within the egg shape
created by their hands. (CAMERA:
