From Darkness to the Light

    Newer Older

    This shot was taken a while back when I went out to the Linda Vista Hospital Shoot that Brooke Shaden arranged. I'm happy that I was able to light the scene up as I had it in my head. Check out the Blog for lighting setup graph.

      As a real life coroner investigator in Marin County, CA - I really appreciate your take on this scene. The easy option would be to go creapy - I love that you stepped back and took this approach instead...

      So cool with the mixture of cold and warm light! Makes you curious as to what the model is actually gazing at...

      It's a great idea, and great photo. I'd like it more if she had her back turned to the light, as if she was coming out of it though..

      Anyways, beautiful model, and great lightning.
