This is a test image for a series of scenes I intend to do using the same two speaker characters. This is a WIP of the first scene.

I've spent the last few hours tweaking the lighting rig, which consists of 3 area lights (key, fill and back/overhead lights) and a HDR image to make up for a lack of Ambient lighting (I set Ambient Intensity to 0 and used Backdrop radiosity).

The surfaces of the objects are adapted presets and I'll improve them once I've perfected the lighting (not sure if that's the way to go about it though).

I'm aiming for a near photorealistic effect, but I could do with a little feedback. Any comments/suggestions about the lighting of the scene would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

For one think i would say to turn off the shadows for many of your lights. The multiple shadows look weird and out of place if you are going for realism. Otherwise it looks good to me.
