  Thank you everyone! Your comments mean a lot to me. The lighting was very simple: A flash head with a 20 degree grid spot about six inches above the model to camera left & aimed down at the model. The model was surrounded on both sides & at the top by sheets of silver Mylar that acted as a hair light & reflected light from the main light onto the skin. The background is Plexiglass with clear, colored, plastic film covering it & sprayed with water (hence the droplets). There was another head in a medium striplight softbox to camera left slighly above the model & slightly behind the Plexiglass. The Mylar takes the single main light & bounces it everywhere surrounding the model & producing a warm, even light.

  Thank you so much everyone! I can't believe I finally placed! I owe this to the "Glitterguru," Suzette Troche-Stapp. I took this photograph at her workshop in June & she transformed me as a photographer. If anyone's interested in taking it her webite is:

Take Care
