My usual style is quiet high contrast low key. So I decided to start the year off by stretching myself right out of my comfort zone and into high key. And what could be more so than a beauty shoot - with a twist. :)
Having a good working relationship with your model is important at every shoot, but especially when you are asking the model to do something that requires great care. Like standing in the studio with a noose around her neck.
Although the noose is not tight, is it suspended from a boom stand above, restricting movement. I am very fortuante to have a good working relationship with model and actress Jessica Hutchinson, whom I have worked with before.
Always remember the golden rule: "Look after the model". :)
The lighting was set up as a beauty shot. I used two small strip-light soft boxes to blow out the backdrop [in this case seamless paper] and a beauty dish directly in front of Jessica to give the soft wrap around light. Bounce back from the white seamless also helped to ensure Jessica was evenly lit.
The shoot was lots of fun and a great way to get back into the studio after an extended break overseas. :)
