Young at Heart

This young lady is a great subject. She just had a procedure done on her heart that tested her blood flow and we found out that she's a mutant. Well, not really, but kinda. See that horizontal squiggly line along the bottom of the picture she's holding? That, believe it or not, does not exist on 'normal' hearts. Apparently, something went wrong on one side of her heart and her body adapted by actually creating an artery to feed the weak side. Insane, I know. Anyways, she's a killer subject and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to photograph her.

There's a strobe with a snoot on a chair to my left, directed at the wall, and some soft window light on my right - shot at 10mm. The whole shoot took less than five minutes.

Here are two out-takes. She was laughing the entire time.

Here's the lighting diagram.
