Kailey 4

Posted by Ken McCoy (Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States) on 24 November 2008 in People & Portrait.

An experiment in posing.

Since the purpose of this shoot was mainly to showcase hair & makeup, I found this pose & camera position to be effective for her dark hair against a nocturnal background. I also used a remote flash & 24-inch silver umbrella reflector.

Thanks to Kailey & Diamante!

Good shot and a fine light on a nice model. Le modèle ne devait d'ailleurs pas bouger d'un pouce, 1/5s , c'est vraiment juste pour un portrait. Belle réussite;
