Gone Fishing

I wanted to do some a little different with creative lighting. To get this photo I set the figurine on black paper and black foam core backdrop. I set a black board on the left with just a slit opening for my main light, Strobe. My first try the boy had harsh shadows that I didn't like. I then decided to use a handheld flashlight, some call them a torch, on the right side. I wanted my right fill light to be mild not harsh. To do that I held the flash some distance from the figurine. When I did that it was not bright enough so I added time to my exposure, longer exposure would only effected the right side. The room was dark so this additional exposure time only added light to the right side, the left side flash only took up a fraction of the full exposure time. I hope this is making sense.
My camera settings were
Flash at 6.5 - Apt f/11 - ISO 80 - shutter speed 5th of a sec - Flashlight is OLIGHT S30R Baton IIID Rechargeable Flashlight

You are an artist, JP!
Thank you Mike.
BTW Somewhere alone the way we lost the fish. Had to find an image on line then composited the fish and fishing line. The fish started out as a bright gold fish.

I love the photo; but the explanation of how you created the fill you wanted with two kinds of light was fascinating and something for us to keep in mind. Very well executed and very cleverly done.
