This was the last of two shoots with Laurel. We did this film noir glamour shoot and a fine art nude shoot. The fine art nudes can't be presented here so this will be the last set of images from Laurel's book.

Unlike most of my work where I use strobes, these were shot using a single tungsten fresnel continuous light for the deeper blacks and high contrast.

Camera & Lens:
Nikon D700 & Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR

Settings:
[1] ISO 400, f/8, 1/400s
[2] ISO 400, f/8, 1/500s
[3] ISO 400, f/4. 1/1250s

Lighting:
[1] Fresnel set mid way between spot and flood [camera left]
[2] Fresnel set on full flood [camera left]
[3] Fresnel set on full spot [camera right]

Hi Sam,

Thank you very much. If you're referring to the depth of field demo I created, I'm in the process of creating a newer version with two parts. The first will be similar to what you saw, using a three dimensional object, and the second part will be with a human subject to see how it applies in real world portraiture.
