Francois
Day 50 of an Unknown Number
"Francois"
I call this portrait, "Francois"......but that is his name. He is family. He is a boat builder, designer, artist, dancer, and father. With a face like this, I had to ask him to pose for me. He graciously accepted the request. I recently viewed a portrait of Martha Graham by Yousuf Karsh, and I was inspired to attempt something similar. While I cannot speak to Sir Karsh's lighting, I used two strobes for my portrait of Francois. There is a gridded beauty dish at camera-left, a little high, and feathered a bit in front of him.The grid was to avoid lighting much further below his arms. There is a second strobe with a dish focused on the grey background behind our subject. It is used to separate him from the background. Two lights, one face, and a lot of character. Thanks for taking a look!
