p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Sonia & Dianah (black and white)


I posted recently some pictures with strong colors. Here are a couple of black and white pictures of mine.
In the first one I was experimenting with some new lighting ideas (for me that is). I used only one strobe here with a gridded snoot as the main light and a strip light from behind left from the camera. I put a glass brick in front of the main light to spread the light a little bit and got some nice things happening for the background also. Unfortunately Sonia couldnīt light the cigarrette because it was not possible to have any smoke in the studio and I didnīt want to try to make it artificially either. Comments are welcome!

I think the first is quite dramatic although a bit too stark for taste. I do like the skin tones quite a bit--a lovely consistent quality to them. I think the shadow may be adding too much dark contrast to her light skin--not crazy about it.

The second is less dramatic but I like it very much. The way you have captured the tight, black outfit hugging her curves is just fabulous. Nice dark tones that pop nicely against the darker background. Excellent attention to detail. Great skin tones again, just enough shadow to highlight her cheekbones. The uniformly dark background, I think works very well here. She seems relaxed with smiling eyes..

I like them both but agree that the shadow in the first photo is a little bit too harsh. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the comment Ipanematom, there were nearly 800 views of these pictures but only one comment before yours! I was wondering why... Anyway, thank you!
