Back to the studio� 1/x
This week I had the privilege to work with a young and talented actress, Gali.
It was a fascinating and refreshing experience for me�
The subject of this series was to practice the classic lighting (also known as Rembrandt lighting).
We did start with classic lighting, but soon enough; the definitions were left aside�
rules are meant to be broken, aren�t they�
As usual, constructive critique is more than welcome

Have a wonderful weekend!

wonderful picture! breaking rules is where we find out what can be done :)
keep experimenting!

i don't know about lightings too...I bought a book but haven't got started reading it yet!
I think you did a great job with your assignment here...she posed very relax...and that doesn't takes one way...it's both ways....you did a great job to make her feel relaxed...that just my humble opinion! :-)

Mar 21 2008 20:09 GMT bennystr

Thanks Jamby, but all the credit in this case goes to Gali, the actress who worked with me, I just had to click on time, she was changing expressions by the minute...
BTW, if you think I've made her feel relaxed, what do you think I did in the next shot... ? :-)

I just posted my comment..:-)

The multi-talented Benny! The lighting is very soft and subtle - brings out her fish net stockings well!

Beautiful B&W portrait Benny!

great bw! great series! love this light

Mar 22 2008 18:11 GMT twsottawan PRO

I think I like this B/W the best of the series. The simple version of Rembrandt lighting( with main light at 45 deg. from camera axis and a fill reflector) has worked best here. If you have the resources you might try adding a light or reflector for the hair. In some of the photos there could have been more detail, or perhaps it was just lost on the monitor I had to view it on at this moment. In any case this is an excellent studio portrait.

Mar 22 2008 18:19 GMT bennystr

Thanks for the tip twsottawan, as a matter of fact there was a back flash on the hair.
You can see the flair it caused in portrait No. 2. It may sound like an excuse, but I think most of the details are lost cause of the resizing I've done and 'thanks' to the darker version of FT... although you can see the hair detail in original view of portrait No.4.
