Costume fashion shoot with one of my favorite models ever, Nadia K. The assignment was to shoot a medieval style costume for sewing pattern company. I have a computer-painted backdrop which fortunately had similar coloring and complementary style. Lighting choice was intended to create a beautiful glow. Main light is a Plume Wafter 200 to camera right creating side 'Rembrandt' effect. A small Chimera SuperPro placed camera left and behind the model firing at the opposite angle as the main light to create a separation effect. This is one of my favorite setups for fashion lighting. The main light shadow is controlled by a 4x8' Foamcor reflector.
The image was captured with my Nikon D810 using the 85mm PCE perspective control lens. I used the tilt control to alter the focus plane. The effect is a compressed plane of focus which kept the model's face and the dress front while the rest of the image quickly drops out of focus.
Beautiful portrait, Dan. Your work is always impressive and you add value to your posts with detailed explanations of your process.
Thanks a lot.
