I used G5 because at the moment its the only camera I have IR remote for and I was both the model and photographer on this one.
Fired the strobe with Elinchrom Skyport trigger.
G5 is ok to shoot with, it has decent manual controls, raw file format, hot shoe...the lens is not that hot but in this case it turned out fine.
Calliope thanks for your compliments on my breasts :)))
the lighting and crop stood out in this one!
great shot and congrats on the top 20, keep it up!
btw i'm amazing how you got such a good result in a studio shot with just a compact cam...how did you fire your strobe?
Since aKiwi already commented maybe there is no need for this, but...it seems for some of you the image is too silhouetted and for others it looks like side lighting rather than backlighting?
I forgot to write photographer's comments so here they are - black background, one softbox directly next to it (~20 cm behind), body is slightly turned toward the light so it doesnt become silhouette.
Its just a low key photo, if I used reflector or another light the caracter of the image would change.
aKiwi thank you for encouraging words! (took a look at your profile - there are some great images in it)
It's amazing how many people mistake this for side lighting.
People! In order to get this sort of picture the light has to be behind the model. It only appears to be from the side as it is just out of the picture.
Mostly darkness however. Doesn't capture the Renaissance meaning of darkness and light (ciaroscuro) and lacks the foreground detail as specified for the challenge. Nice B&W of delicious lines and female forms, but I give a 5 for being off topic.
