Carrie Lee

200mm · f/2.8 · 1/125s · ISO 200

I've started to experiment a lot more with B/W images as I really don't do that much.

This was the first time New Zealander Carrie and myself had ever worked together and I must say, I'm pretty happy with the final results.

The lighting was a 2m parabolic umbrella on a boom set high and angled down so I could get a soft light but with some shadow.

Gorgeous portrait

I can look at this all day! I'm guessing red lipstick and no fill looking at the catchlights? You kept her skin texture which means you have high morals! :)

Nope, actually it was black lipstick and yes, 1 big ass parabolic umbrella used.

Thanks Scott, skin texture is very important!

This image is excellent. The model is beautiful. The lighting is excellent. thank you for sharing this image.

Great texture and stunning tonality!

Wow, I like her look, how she looks at the camera. Very chrisp image with nice texture. Chapeau!

My very first camera used b&w film. I love b&w. The lighting & shadows are excellent. The model is beautiful. I would watch or keep from placing the subjects in the middle of any frame. By doing so you create negative & unwanted spaces on both sides. Thank you for sharing this image
