dead serious

"Dead serious' - indeed! This person's gaze is bordering on being menacing, as if she's advising any people within eyeshot to give her a clear berth. For whatever it's worth, I think the appearance of quite a few wayward strands of hair supports this interpretation. Was it how you felt when you shot this photograph?

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for you comments. I shot entire series asking Brook for different emotions. I only got the feeling after I looked at the photo on the computer screen.

Ya’ see Andrew, that’s the look the model gives you when you have her posing too long without a break!! Dangerous! But it does make for a great photo (if you survive to see it!)

Hi Warren,

I know you are just kidding. My models have it easy; good food and drinks and a brake any time they want. That's why I get such great pictures!

That's what they eat its delicious!

Your beauty with a serious look is, as always, gorgeous, Andrew! Also I like the background and the over-sized jeans clothes. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

Thank you very much for your visit and compliments. The background is a black seamless papwer lit with two strobes with red filter.

I am thinking you used a snoot for the "wall hanger" facial highlights. Either way, the lighting sets the mood for a very successful shot, and I like the slightly air blown hair. Looks like a lot of work went into this

Hi Jack,

Thanks for noticing. I used Lasko Pro-Performance High Velocity Utility Fan since it is much more directional than regular fan. Two strobes with zoom reflectors with red filter to lit black backdrop paper and Elinchrom Rotalux Octabox (175cm place at 45 deg for the front light.

The expression of your model is reinforced by the light which is perfect. Congratulation

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thank you very much for your kind words.
