fashion photography fashion photographer - monochrome image of model wearing a white blouse and patterned bandana — The light place parallel to the wall allows most of the light to hit the model with very little spill on to the wall.

I was working with Carla in a local studio and wanted to create some fashion images using a bandana that Carla had brought along with her. The decision on styling was to use the cream blouse with the bandana. I chose to light the set with a single studio flash head fitted with a gridded softbox, This was placed just off the wall to the right hand side of the model, Which created a pool of light on the blouse and face with a slight spill onto the wall behind her.
