I just had a notification from Shutterstock that as of June 17, 2015, this image have downloaded 50 times! It has been online with them since November 2014. I'm not really sure what a good number of downloads in a given period of time is, but I'm pretty psyched about the performance of this image. It's actually part of a series but this one stood out among the rest.
Thought I'd share with you how I lit this one.
I used four speedlights for this one. 3 of them gelled with red, blue and green accordingly. Key light was placed on the laptop, domed and bounced against a typewriting paper taped onto the screen. Another speedlight at camera right, which was placed at the far end of the room, was gelled blue and bounced on the ceiling. This gave the overall blue cast in the room. A third speedlight gelled green, still at camera right, was aimed at our our tech savvy kid. Then the final speedlight gelled red was placed on the floor, behind the bed and aimed at the wall.
I can't recall the actual power settings of the speedlight as they seasoned to taste. As for the camera settings, ISO 200, 1/200 and f 5.6

Aside from Shutterstock, this image is also live online(and proud to report that is also doing well) at Dreamstime, Depositphotos, Bigstock and 123rf. Please check it out.
Hope this helps. Happy shooting.
