I wanted to experiment with new studio lights and found a model who is also a dancer (and a nurse as her real job). After doing some simple portrait lighting, we wanted to try dance motion with strong rim lights. I took a couple test shots to figure out the exposure from the front, intending that to be my key light, but she really liked the heavy shadows from underexposure and wanted me to kill the front light altogether. I talked her into just enough so her face wouldn't be in complete shadow.
She's looking for color, but I prefer black and white for my portfolio, so I'll do both with a set of 8 images. Below is the first processed two different ways in B&W. I'm curious which is more appealing to others, or if there's something I should be doing differently altogether?
I added the color image for good measure. I'm color blind and fight terribly with skin tones, so if it's too red, too yellow, too green or something, feedback is appreciated.
