Maker's notes:

Photo was shot on club clown night.  A Canon EX-430 II flash was  mounted on the camera under TTL control of the camera.  7D Mark II was set on Full Automatic with ISO set at 800.  Resulting settings were shutter speed 1/60 sec. and aperture of f/7.1.  ISO was increased to get the shutter to speed up to a minimum of 1/60th to sync with flash.  Background was removed in Photoshop CC, using the refined edge process to capture stray hairs.  A solid color background was added in Photoshop CC.
