Dramatic Lighting with Savanna

I took some time with Savanna to experiment with my studio lights, and explore new possibilities with light and shadow. I wanted to create new images that I hadn't thought of before. Since my space is limited, I rented a room in a reception hall that allowed me more ceiling height, and enough space all around to have lights, backdrops, and distance to allow me to pull my lights and model further from the background to create the effects I desired.

One of the shots I wanted to achieve was the image of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" so we set up the lights, backdrop, and played with several different expressions and hand placement to get the three-shot composite.

And of course we had to get some different wardrobe options. Some full length and some cropped. This is the routine I use to start off most of my sessions to get a new model accustomed to being in front of the camera and comfortable having their picture taken. Some goofy expressions help lighten the mood...

Thank you for taking the time to view and appreciate my photography

I am always looking for models to collaborate on new ideas
