Pairings - Studio Practices

We were to select an object and match that object with a person.  The goal was to light the object and the person the same way and to move the image from a completely flat two dimensional image, to one that popped from the paper because of the ratio and position of light and shadow.  


I asked Lauren if she would model for me and then spent several days trying to find the right bunny.  I wanted one that was not too big, and not two small, and it had to have  long floppy ears.  I never found the right bunny in the store, so was really lucky that Lauren's mother remembered where she had seen a bunny I could use. Once I knew the color of dress Lauren planned to wear for our shoot, I bought the pink ribbon....

A fun day - Lauren did a really good job, and I earned an A, well, really an A- but I was pretty happy - did not want to re-shoot.

Instructors Comments:  A very lovely job here.  I find an immediate connection between the two subjects.  Light works very well for both, including the nice backlighting for the bows and the side lighting for the arms and shoulders.  Good roundness on face.   I would have considered a darker clothing choice for the girl as I find the light colored dress a distraction from her cute face. Be careful to crop image neatly at bottom....
