[QUOTE="STM, post: 114216, member: 12827"] One of the most challenging kinds of portraiture, for me at least, is what I call "black on black". In this case it was more like "black on black [I][B]on[/B][/I] black". We have an Asian woman with jet black hair, wearing a black corset against a black background. To break her away from the background I used a strobe behind her, with no softening, and then used two softboxes on either side of her. The corset she was wearing was made out of some kind of synthetic and had a silk-like sheen to it. That helped separate it from the background as well.
