I wish I had a bit more "studio" space for this shot. I was shooting from the production office and the backdrop was setup in a fairly busy walkway in the office, but was the only spot to set it up. The shadow of Michelle's mom Terry was cast by a flash with a kraft-dinner-box snoot. (Always gets some laughs when I pull it out.) The flash on Michelle was gripped to a cubicle to the left and zoomed way in and aimed at her. Both Michelle and I wanted to get away from the typical "looking into the mirror" anorexia shots, so I think this one worked pretty well for what I was going for.
