Pole Dancing in Gray

This image was taken during a pole dancing shoot for my portfolio. The idea was to highlight the shoes the model was wearing and to exaggerate her legs by shooting wide angle (24mm full frame). Most of her outfit was in shadow so after wrestling with the colors I found that black and white brought out a much stronger composition. I used a Profoto B1X with a large softbox as the key light on her face and another B1X with a 5' octabox for fill. I also added a white bounce card under her legs to give a little kick to the shadows.
