BLACK & WHITE

Never be afraid to offer black & white images to your clients. Sometimes it is exactly what is needed to get the right look for the job.

For this session, I used a maroon muslin backdrop. The model’s drape was an off-white muslin, and her hair was brown. All of that color was distracting. A black & white treatment allowed me to create a simpler image with greater impact.

Never be afraid to offer black & white images to your clients.

I aimed a G20 grid on a 6-foot stand at the background to create the desired highlight. A 6×4-foot panel was used on the right side of the model. Two lights were placed behind the panel at P1 (but a bit off center). A large bounce card placed between the model and the camera reflected the light from the big source onto the model. This made the light-to-shadow transition across the model look smooth and soft. Finally, a G40 on a 5-foot stand was used to create a bright wraparound effect on the model’s left side.
