(I was tempted to call all her colleges and tell her she was a serial killer to keep her around.) She asked me to do her senior portrait, which I did. But I wanted something personal to give her family so I shot some knowing they would go to black and white. This image was shot with the 1Ds Mk II, and the Leica 100 APO using studio lighting and a white backdrop. I would appreciate knowing how you react to it and how it could have been made better. I'm not at home with all the lighting - probably you can tell this. I had two strobes - a soft-box on the right and an umbrella reflector on the left with a little fill light on her hair from behind. <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2005/05/21/TheHouseSitter.jpg> Thanks for sharing your impressions and any comments.
