Shot No. 1 rocks my boat! Great job!
I think the other interior environmental portrait, there is so much stuff in the background, and the contrasty look from one light really drives the busy-ness of the background. It might work better with more lights.
Thanks Ron! There are actually 2 lights working here. I lit the subject with a small softbox and the background with a second strobe in a reflector with a grid. Both are from the same direction so it may appear there is only one light. My hope was to control the amount of light on the background by lighting it separately and not depending on spill from the main. Curious as to your suggestion; if the background appears to be overly busy, dont you think by adding lights and highlighting the background more, the result would be the same (or more exaggerated)? My goal was to provide insight into the world of a ski patroller by including their possessions and tools, the place where they start and finish their days.
