In the Dark

[GB1]

Another photograph of a model (Hannah) at a class on Sunday. Comments?

[armando_m]

nice pleasant image,
soft lights well controlled

pose a bit odd , but as I said, overall pleasant image

the cloth had been folded for a while, it has wrinkles all over the place

What was the class about ?

I think it can use more background space.

Thanks for your comments.

AE, funny, I thought it had too much negative space, so I cropped it a bit... Here's the full size. Better? If so, perhaps I should trust my first instincts.

Armando, this was a model lighting class, and also included some tips for working with models (which were certainly helpful) given by a former model and current photographer. Below is the class description so you can see what it was about. Thanks for the observation on the cloth wrinkles - no one noticed at the shoot, and maybe it's because everyone's so busy with other things that they miss a few things

I like the full version, I can see why you cropped it , the light fades nicely towards the bottom, although some may see you lack light in the bottom, you can say I intended it like that ...

This model sure managed to make herself looks lifeless, she seemed to be under the impression of posing in a paint or a sculpting class?.

Or a drama class, where's she thinking about something.
