Movement

50mm · f/2.8 · 1/200 · ISO 100

I love working with dancers and playing with fabrics and movement. My work is inspired by Renaissance old master paintings so my soft lighting will reflect that look.

Great job freezing the motion. What flashes did you use?

Squint your eyes and look at this... the shape created by the movement of the fabric is captured as something beautifully fluid. Like ink-drops in water.

Absolutely enjoyed the fluid in mid-tones. PP choice of skin tone highlights still manages to hold attention at face. Thanks.
