To create this “window” light after the sun had already set I placed one of my strobes in a 24×34 softbox just outside the window at the studio. The light ended up getting extra softening by the studio curtains leaving creating this super smooth and even lighting. A second strobe (with barndoors) is set to camera right. Thanks to Vicki Carroll for the BTS image.
