Alasdair attended our Weekend Extravaganza where we covered Portraits, Nudes and Fashion.   The course was run in conjunction with the RPS Digital Imaging Group.  Graham Whistler and myself were the course tutors.

I really like the dutch angle on this one, because of the very rectilinear objects it really works well.   It also makes Nikki Pixie fit really well into the frame and stops the image being windy.   The varied angular lines running at many different angles across the frame make for a very dynamic image.  Nice work – good thinking.

A simple arrangement of contrasting colours in the background and the textile material and dynamic posing from our model.

Lighting Diagram
Softbox lighting, but fairly hard and to the right to create strong shadows and contrast.

In the first image we have a bit of an ungainly pose to add dynamic, in this second image the posing is more controlled.

And finally, no change to the lighting, but putting the camera within the textile means we create really strong leading lines down to the figure.
