About the image

I used a Profoto B10, held by the senior’s mom and aimed as I directed with HSS. Image was created on a dead-end road on a somewhat overcast late fall day just before sunset, but there was still enough ambient light so I used the camera settings to darken the rest of the background. I tried get more of a moody, night look to go with the “tough biker” vibe. Added some smoke/haze and enhanced the headlight in post.
