Towards the end of class when most of them had figured it out, I grabbed a light and a PocketWizard and slammed out a few portraits of Taylor.
The instructor had most of the students put their subject in the shade. I decided that looked boring and asked Taylor to set up in the sun. It turns out using the sun as a rimlight is awesome, and I got great detail on his hair from it. Not to mention the lens flare that couldn't be better.
Strobe is 1 AB800 at 1/4 power, modified with a spot grid. Not too shabby if you ask me.
Have a lovely Tuesday!

Can't help but notice the black and white photo for your "color portrait" class ;)
Great lighting. I like the bit of flare too, it adds some nice interest to the shot. I'm not sure how I feel about that strong ray coming in at the top right of the frame, it's a little distracting for me. I do like the space you created around your subject, I guess I have a thing for horizontal head and shoulders stuff like this.
