RE: Learning Speedlight
I’m not a fan of that look. It looks too artificial. I’d gone for a single harsh light from quite high up for that photo and made it super dramatic. But personal preference, as always, and I’m extremely picky.
The mustard coloured walls lead to that effect and where the bounced light has gone around and around.
We're not used to that colour of light, and the colour cast in the highlights and flesh is what leads to this artificial and unnatural look.
Speedlights are harsh lights by their nature. They can carve devastating shadows into subjects when used well
