Formal, Black background portraits with 3 speedlights – how would you recommend setting everything up?

Waves/Circles in Background? What causes the odd waves in these photos? It’s almost like a weird bokeh? It was in the mid 70s (F) outside and wasn’t humid, so I don’t think it is heat distortion, but I guess it could be. Taken in Wisconsin, USA in mid-July. The background is a tree and sky peaking out between the branches. I was standing at a slightly lower level than the p…

Hardly revolutionary, and probably only works in some circumstances (in my case, I was one of the few USA online renewals), but I thought I would share it anyway! submitted by /u/hedgiefrau
