About the image

I wanted to show off the mosaic tile background by adding a “water” effect to the lighting and make it look like my subject was standing in the middle of a fountain, so for my main light I used a Godox S30 Focusing LED Light with a Teal gel and aimed it at a sheet of mylar hanging from a 90 degree boom arm. As I tapped or shook the mylar it would create a wavy reflection of blue light on my subject and background. Then I had 2 Godox AD200’s as rim lights behind her with 1/2 CTO gels and Magmod 30 degree Mag grids on them to try to balance the blue light on her.
