Stephy C is a well know glamour/fine art model, visiting Portland for the first time.  I've long admired her work with some of the best photographers around.  I jumped at the chance to work with her. 

 

As it turns out, Stephy visited me on one of those rare sunny winter days, and when that happens, I feel compelled to enjoy the light coming in from my favorite window.

I plop Stephy in that strong window light, and gradually, she loses her clothing.  Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

I've cut back on posting "artistic effects" versions of my images, but I still create & look at them often, but feedback from web site visitors has been tepid.

Well, to heck with that -- I'm including two "paint brush" versions of this image; the difference is basically the size of the brush.

I just love the abstraction, how one's brain can "fill in the blanks" when given minimal information.

Enjoy. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's interesting.  Over along the wall, where the sunbeam comes in at a sharp angle, the light was very contrasty.  So, I look for better light, and we don't have to go far.  Here, in the corner by the favorite window, there's lovely light.

It's interesting because I would never have thought about setting up light like this when using my strobes.  The strong main light is behind and to the side of Stephy, and the fill light is bouncing off the wall along the left side of the image.

Some day, I'm gong to have to experiment with that kind of lighting setups when I use the strobes.

 

 

 

 

 

Well, to be honest, the window light today was a bit too difficult for me.  So, we abandon it & work with the studio strobes instead.

  

 

Getting Started Again
