Pamela : Black Teardrop

Pamela and I continue to explore.

We could not have pulled it off without the very talented Bianca and Stacey, our preferred makeup artist and hair stylist.

Camera & Lens:
Nikon D700 & Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII

Settings:
98mm, ISO 200, f/8, 1/125s

Lighting:
Main Light- Elinchrom Maxilite with honeycomb grid and diffusion sock [positioned on lens' horizontal axis and directly above lens]
Background- Two strobes with wide angle reflectors and silver deflectors [positioned to left and right of set]

Awesome - that's some wild hair!

A thoroughly professional level image in every respect, but oh my that hair! It reminds me of this guy, bwahahahahahahaha!

This is a nice very powerful shot Robert. Just Great!

STM? Is that a Self Portrait?

Awesome production and picture!

In a personal note, I would like to set the background white but a little grey, so the contrast with the model is "better".

Thank you. The background isn't pure white and the concept of the shot was to have Pamela's skin as close to the background as possible, allowing the dark edges (reverse edge lighting) to provide the separation between subject and background. We were not trying to achieve greater contrast.
