Studio - Assignment 1 Portraiture

Task 1

I just came across this image (below) and am really taken with it. Looks pretty simple lighting wise...

I reckon this is how it's lit. I suspect there may be two lights one above the other to give enough coverage.

Task 2

For this portrait I'm really keen to experiment with sparklers...

It'd be a portrait obviously, but I like the effect they've achieved in this product shot.

Maybe even making a halo with sparklers...

Or a skirt...

Obviously this has not been done with sparklers. Actually it was all done in Photoshop, but it's just an idea.
