It did flare quite a bit, didn't it? Colours probably desaturated and tinted.

looks more like pp than real light coming through.

I think it's a softbox behind an opening on the wall. It should be real because it illuminated the hair.

I doubt so... Notice how the shadow falls on the wall, it tells you that there's light coming from the back. Most likely there's a fill-in light with lower f-value from the front... :think:

Very informative discussion on the subject as well as the lighting used. Reminds me of a math question! Algebra anybody?

Hmm so partially desat + tint = this effect? Looks a little like sepia anyway.. to me at least

Sepia will be total desat and will not have anymore colour information.

i think it could be snoot from the top, juding by how the shadow falls. the light source from the back isn't really lighting up the whole square .... :think:

probably but the light sources seems to be rather uneven in the output to look like real lights. :dunno:

Th unevenness is due to flare. The actual source has already blown out the upper limits of the sensor (doesn't look like film to me).
