Natasha, taken for the Strobist CTO lighting assignment “Work That CTO”

A shot taken for the Strobist Lighting assignment, “Work That CTO”. This image was taken by setting my cameras white balance to tungsten and then using a CTO gelled flash gun to light the main subject, giving a blue colour cast to the scene overall, while maintaining correct colours on the subject.
