Lighting as been of some interest to me lately. For dramatic photos, I have been using a single source of bright direct light. This allows me to get dark shadows and moderate highlights. Not bad for only using a 500 watt work light.
Mari Ann was nice enough to be my model tonight after getting her hair done and night class. She got a call from a friend just as I was starting to shoot and I encouraged her to take it. She can be very self conscious and I think talking to someone took her out of the present enough for her to relax and just be her natural self.
