Day 37 - Hannah

We had the pleasure of Hannah's company today.  A rare event as she was squeezing us into a brief window between a European tour with her Australian choir and a trip back to Oz for her sister's wedding.  Hannah also agreed to pose for some portrait shots, giving us this lovely shot for today.

Once again, I learned much by doing this.  We were trying to work on creating flattering poses and working variations to get the maximum value from each pose.  In this shot I like the way the hand frames the face, giving it a beautiful shape.  In other poses the pose combined with my broad lighting was much less flattering.  I originally arranged the lights for a different pose facing to the left (short lighting) and didn't move them for this one.  My laziness spoiled many of the otherwise good pictures.

I'll try something similar another day to work on getting the light and pose right together!

Strobist info:  YN460-II into a reflective umbrella 45 degrees high camera left.  Sigma 530 DG Super diagonally across (rear camera right) with snoot as hair light.  Large white foam board reflector flat in front model.

Thanks Hannah!
