Product + Portrait

I've been shooting portraits for my work for a while now and I realise I've not posted them online before except for the unedited portrait of Nellie (a couple of posts below). This is one of the better ones I've shot recently. Believe it or not there's very little editing that I did on it -- the work was to remove the background and turn it white. The lighting setup is pretty simple -- two softboxes with two Nikon SB-600 flashguns on either side and that's it. The main thing is to show the product (which is the Samsung Galaxy Gear on the model's wrist) so being able to see the watch clearly with its display is very important. I was just very happy with how the lighting turned out on this one. Nikon D600, AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 VR.
