I’m liking the lighting you’v used and smoke from the gun is a smoking touch Gary.

The smoke is done with Photoshop, but anyone can light the photo the same way. It just requires an undiffused light source low to camera left.

What I spot straight away and my eyes are drawn to straight away is the Japanese headband on her.

They are evenly lit well too , do you light up the backgrounds Gary ? How do you prevent shadows falling on the background ?

In this case, as in the two photos that will appear beneath this post, the whole setup is lit using a single on-camera portable flash pointed at the ceiling, with which bounces back an nice, diffused and very even light.

If flash is not available, hot lights can be used instead, as long as you have a tripod and shutter release as you will need to use a slower shutter speed.
