I really love vintage Hollywood glamour shots and decided to try taking some myself. I shot these images of model/actress Joan Urchin, who's a friend of mine. I'm sure there's more I need to learn to fine tune the look, but I thought these were a good starting point.

Camera used was a Nikon D750 with a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens set at 130mm and f/4.5. ISO was set at 500, and the shutter speed was 1/200 sec. Lighting came from a Nikon SB-800 speedlight connected to a NiceFoto Fresnel Lens modifier I bought on Amazon. Rim light was created with a simple LED makeup light.
