I wanted the set to look like something at night. I had a tree off to the right with a blue gel shinging through to create the shadows on the mantle. I thought that the candles would also help.
Kristupa, beleive it or not, I was actually on the floor shooting up at her. Notice her position relative to the mantle top, and candles. I shot this several, several different ways. Some of the shots, I kocked the camera a bit left or right to throw in a bit of change.
Nice set of lighting, your choice of using bluish background makes a good contrast with the model's skin tone But the angle of view, I think, would be better if you bend your knee down more a little bit to get lower angle :)
