Erin

Erin, originally uploaded by austinspace.

This is amongst the last portraits I'm going to do for awhile. An idea brewing in my head for some time finally popped out during the holiday season and I've decided to move in a different direction photographically for the next few months. Hopefully I'll return to portraiture reinvigorated!

Erin is a delightful young woman who had had very particular ideas she wanted to achieve, and she called me yesterday thanking me again for the results. The black and white choice in these shots were to focus on the form and I'm really happy with them. She has the two studio lights on her here, the one on the left turned down low. In Photoshop I used the black and white filter with the reds and yellows turned up to get this almost marble finish.
