Tonight I went out and bought stuff to make my own DIY lighting kit for photo and film stuff. Altogether it cost me $110 so far, and it's totally worth it (and like THOUSANDS cheaper than the alternative).
The photo was shot with two of the three lights I bought (the other one was too bright for this particular shot). I have a 60 watt with a red gel as my back light, and a 120 watt as my key, both on dimmers (the key is about half, the back is probably 60-70%).
BTW, self-portraits are HARD as fuck to shoot. Just saying.
