See the Light

Compliments my dear friend, really a nice and elegant nude born from the dark.

Great positioning of both model and lighting = great shot!

Pretty Model and a nice pose.  I see that you apparently used a single key light off to picture left.  It was close enough that it exaggerated the difference in highlights with those on her right arm being substantially brighter than the highlights on her left.  Perhaps moving the light  a little further away would even this out.

But then, most importantly!  Where is the fill light to keep the shadows from being pure black?  A fill light could be just above the camera, would tend to throw no shadow but would give you control of the shadows left by the key light.

Thank you Jerry for your comments. I intentionally placed the light this way and I have not used a fill flash. I wanted to create an image that goes from darkness to shadows to light.

love this light, work very well

A fine job of creating drama with a single light. I've been known to use a black bounce card to fully absorb the light on the dark side and keep it from adding any fill. I love her expression too I do, seemingly full of wonder.

Cheers, Raymond
