This is a shot of my wife, Louise. She's not completely in character for this because she was roped-in, post-gardening and reluctantly, to help test out my flying beauty dish idea prior to using it in an upcoming creative shoot.
The flying beauty dish is a Frankensteinian object: an Apollo 18" softbox, with an AF160 ring-flash tie-wrapped into it, attached to a monopod. My young assistant held this above and in front of Louise as the key light, I added an AF540 in a 42" umbrella for some fill and a snooted AF540 well behind as a hair light -- which of course became a hat-light in this case. What I saw in this shot reminded me of a Dorothea Lange, so I processed it sepia and mucked around inexpertly in Photoshop to distress it for that faux-thentic dust-bowl vintage look. http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/7223449048/lightbox/ Enjoy!
