An interesting lighting challenge, this one. The artist was performing behind a translucent cloth. Front lighting eliminated virtually all detail, even when positioning the flash nearly in line with the sheet (in an attempt to catch the contours of the artist’s body pressing against the cloth). The solution in this situation lay with backlighting the subject, which was further aided by white walls behind the subject.
