Stacia at the Crofoot
Here is Stacia, who modeled for me a while back. This was loads of fun because of the large reflectors behind my subject. (I kid) I did not employ a voice activated lightstand for this shot. There was actually just a bare Hensel Porty head on a stand to camera right. Or maybe it had a shoot through umbrella, I do not remember all of the details. I do know it was the Porty, which is a fantastic rig, but turned out to be overkill for this afternoon's shooting.
What bought me back to this particular image? I really like the contrast of the shiny metal doors with her darker clothing. Now that I think about it, pretty much everything but white would look good here. There is also a hint of mystery in the reflections. Asking you to ponder what's right behind me.
Folks from the Detroit area may know where this location is. If you have ever attended a show at the Crofoot Ballroom, you may have entered through the adjacent Eagle Theater doors.
It is amazing how many cool outdoor locations exist within a block of these doors. I am currently recruiting folks to shoot there again, who knows what we'll create?
Stacia
For the curious: Nikon D3 with the 85mm D lens. I don't have that body anymore, but the lens is a keeper.
