Black and White Portraits

This was essentially the synthesis of 2 half-baked ideas that had been rolling around my head for a while. I had been driving past this maize field for years and had often thought I would like to do some kind of shoot at that location, but never sure of exactly what. Later, I had another idea about a 'wet look' shoot but I didn't want to go down the usual route but add a sense of mystery and eerieness if I could. I bought two types of cloth but the other did not hold water well and had a sheen from the flash. This photograph was taken at dusk and the lighting is from a single source.
