It was a very simple setup. 2 softbox flashlights on either side. I have no experience working with them. Both lights were of near intensity. Next time I should perhaps lighten one of them to give it more mood.

I couldn’t decide which was the better of the two so I included both.

The Canon 50mm 1.4 lens is not the best (quality and build wise), the sharpest or the most favourite and is criticized for all sorts of reasons. But it is reasonably priced, smallish and light. It was my third lens purchased. It is showing its age because it won’t focus below 90cm. I could get it fixed, but I may as well buy a new one or upgrade to other 50mm (but they would be more expensive and heavier. Having said all of that, it is probably my most used lens up for a long time. I kinda miss using it in the last 2 years.
