Model Carla was in the area which gave me a chance to work with her again. I arranged a studio session at my local studio Silkwood. For this set of images the lighting is provided by a large gridded Octa box to the left hand side of the model. The white wall to the right hand side reflects the light back in to model to provide some nice fill

The close placement of the light to the model gives a nice soft light and shadows in the images and as she chances pose continues to wrap around her.

A soft engaging look to the camera gives a good connection to the viewer

Facing away from the light also works as the wall bounces the light back towards the face.

Off the shoulder look also holds the viewers attention

Shifting the camera angle gives a different look to the image but the lighting has not changed.
