In the film noir shots I posted of Lauren there is actually a well defined shadow as a result of the lighting but also because of the proximity of the subject to the seamless paper background. The same is true in this shot of Dana.Dana is stilling about 12 inches from the background and the beauty dish to camera right is creating the shadow behind and to camera left. The shot and her look is edgy and I wanted lighting that was a bit more edgy as well.There are varying degrees of shadow in a lot of my work and not everything is shot with large, soft, diffused light. This is one example where I wanted shadow and where the shadow acts as vertical grounding to complete the shot.</blockquote>
