Stripes and Squares

[Craftysnapper]

Alexandria a girlfriend of my sons friend who did not mind me experimenting, a striped beach towel and kitchen lino for the background.

Hits the spot for me. I like it when you experiment, it gets me thinking which is a good thing. 

 

I really like what you have created here. If you don't mind me asking, how did you light the subject Paul?

Wouldn't know how to comment on the technical side of things,   Very Striking I love it

Thank you Kev, two shoot through (translucent) umbrellas ,a large one positioned just above head height and to the right with a smaller one at camera height and frontal as a fill light,it's called loop lighting.

Many thanks for the detail Paul. I have so much to learn, but I also enjoy the learning!

I like the creative and technical aspects of this which combine to make a super portrait.

It's all been said.

I think it's lovely too.

Nice image, well thought out...

Very  effective use of mono plus colour (and BP can't even complain about selective colour on this one!)

 

Just one question - did you sandwich two shots together? Or was she lying down (can't see how you'd get the lino in shot otherwise..)?

[KateW]

I really like this.

[THELONGMAN]

Brilliantly worked out picture Paul, and so well executed,

Thank you Chris, just a length of lino brought of the roll and hung up  by clothe pegs on my backdrop stand.KateW, on 13 Dec 2014 - 2:28 PM, said:
