Can anybody guess how I shot Ryu?
The answer has to do with lighting, and here’s a clue: all three of these shots were taken with one small light.
Yes, I’m brushing up on my Strobist skills. No, I’m not quite following the Lighting 102 series, but I’m still playing with small strobes. I used a single Canon 430EX for these shots, but what I’d like to know is this - can you tell how I played with the light from my flash?
On another note, I know the figure on the right (the one Ryu is punching) is a Street Fighter character. Can anybody identify him?

I would guess that the guy Ryu ispunching is T-Hawk. I think. Great lighting. Love the one with the black background.

WiLL: Thanks! I found a site somewhere saying that the character in question was named Sodom. I can’t find the link right now though.

hazel: As long as somebody can provide the action figures, I can shoot them. As of now, I’m out of new figures to shoot.
