Scarves In Flight

OK, I give up. I don't know how you managed it but this gravity-defying explosion of silk sure makes one hell of an interesting picture. I swear, I never know what you're going to come up with next

Best regards, Chuck!

I shot this with a monolight. The flash exposure was some fraction of a second so it does a good job of freezing motion, especially with lightweight stuff like the scarves in this photo.

I don't know what I'm going to come up with next. I typically take about two hours during the shoots with models and I usually have some ideas to try out during that time. Those ideas frequently yield the best shots of the session. So, I knew these ladies would be there and the scarves, but the thought of them throwing the scarves up in the air came to me during the shoot. I took about 40 shots of that and this was the best one.

Thanks for looking and commenting. This was an experiment that turned out well!

Well done Chuck!! You sure gave them a work out, but they seemed to be enjoying the frivolity of it all! Thanks for explaining how you arrived at this shot!

kind regards, Gail
