I had the pleasure of working with Lily, who is a very talented model. She's creative with her posing and very professional, and all around fun girl to hang with. You can see her Model Mayhem portfolio here.

This photo was taken using one SB-800 flash, on 1/4 power, to light up most of the area around Lily. You can see that it was at camera left by the shadow on the wall. Another SB-800, 1/8 power, had a color temperature orange gel and snoot, to direct light into the face and chest area. Camera was set to tungsten white balance about 2500K. ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/125 sec.

I also found a cool link tutorial about mapping text onto irregular surfaces so I used it to write Lily's name on the wall.
