Cool shot! maybe the flash is a little too bright though. What setup do you use?

Hi, it is a cheap Canon Rebel T7 with a Sigma 105mm. And you're right, I used the internal flash, so not a lot of control :)

That's a great result from the gear you got! It could be better though. I used white paper in front of the popup flash to diffuse light before I got my hotshoe flash and portable diffuser
