model: natalia
location: ag studio. morgan hill, ca.
Blank space I call this image, because there are people out there willing to pay a lot of money to learn tricks about photography.
I did not take any classes. I have taught one and learned from the best in the Bay Area. I have been shooting for a little over a year. The one thing that is can pass on.... Be artistic, have a vision, do not follow, but create a look, create an image. CREATE A MAGICAL PHOTO.
Studio lighting, outdoor lighting follows a redundant rule. Studio creates advertising, artistic key lights, outdoors creates the same, but with great textures. All things must have a great composition.
What is the secret to lightings, strobes? Look at the moon as it circles the sun and how the shadows fall as it revolves around the sun, as the key light, from that simple example one can somewhat imagine of how lighting works. Sculpture and chisel the model according to how the light falls unto the model.
I don't treat a lot of black and white, after seeing my friend Julio and after seeing Melissa Rodwell's work, I was amazed Of how fashion photographers convert a photo in black and white. It is not just about converting a photo, fashion black and white has a tedious workflow.

I have to say that this is one of the best images I have seen from you. I've been meaning to try some dramatic light and I think this is what I've been trying to emulate. Of course, I will do my best to be creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, Antonio!
