Playing around with one light is fun, specially, when the background has rich texture. In this shot the weather was not cooperating. The temperature drop significantly, two days prior to this photo shoot, I visited this particular beach and it was hot, when I ran the first test shoot with another model. During the day of the actual shoot it felt like, I was in the twilight zone. Cold, foggy and with a hint of a drizzle, so I was forced think on my toes, compose the shot, read off from my assistant of the light values, adjust the camera and take the shot.
The model, Erin took it like a champ and with my assistant who knows this key in lighting did a wonderful assist in getting the light in the right spot for me to capture the image. ONE Light, ONE shot.

Directions
Directional lighting, enough shadows to create dramatic effect, but not to the extent, creating horror to the clients face. Directional works great with everything, because it is creative.
Photo above is shot naturally, I added a brim in the background from a gold reflector to separate the model, and creates a 3 dimensional effect.
Post Processing used: Barcode... Good lighting, nice pose. Less Photoshop.

My name is Antonio Genovia, working and networking in Northern California as a photographer. The style of my work is in relation to how see beauty. As a practicing fashion photographer, my work is not limited to shooting beautiful women. I also photograph landscape to escape the busy pace of life, and I have a soft side of shooting events, capturing candid moments of a joyous occasion.
The image above was captured by a good friend of mine Ryuuzaki + Julio using an old film camera. My work is about creating a look based in my own interpretation of what is beauty and how beauty should be delivered in the sense of dramatic artistic sense, fashion and or products. I believe in quality, don't we all?
Quality is the best policy, as a newcomer in photography. I have captured the imagination of my peers and my clients. Check-out my work that I have posted in various websites.
