Susan: Hollywood Elegance
Explore: When I think of Old Hollywood, I think of the classy elegance of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. This is one of the most elegant of the entire photo shoot in my opinion.
Strobist info: In learning the "Old Hollywood or Film Noir" type of look, I have found that using off camera flash into grids allows you to have focused light with beautiful falloff. Also, this style tends to have specific hot spots and hot hair lights on purpose.
This photo was shot with a Vivitar 285HV at camera left set to 1/16 into DIY grid to constrain the main light and a Lumopro LP120 set to 1/32 into DIY grid behind left to create the hair light. And, Lumopro LP120 set to 1/32 into DIY grid camera right to provide slight fill and illuminating the pearl bracelet. These were triggered with Cybersyncs.
I ask that you take the time to leave comments. I appreciate the feedback.
