Image 1 uses a single hard light source from overhead to cast a highlight on the background and on the top of the subjects head. Additionally, a silver reflector was held OOF below camera casting diffused reflected light back to the subjects face. This is a one-light setup. Colors were adjusted in Photoshop.
Image 2 uses diffused light from a single bulb. The light was placed just over the camera lens and in front of the subject. A soft plastic diffusion material was used. This diffusion allowed me to create a brighter image with no specular highlights. This is a one-light setup. Colors were adjusted in Photoshop.
