Low Key

[Hdvannjr]

Low key shot taken this last week. Chair was placed in a doorway to the room the backdrop was in. The wall that bordered the doorway blocked the flash from the backdrop. Preventing light from hitting the backdrop is always a struggle for me. This shot was rather spontaneous. Its raw file was really a terrible photo. Initially was just going to delete it. But did some photoshop work and I'm somewhat pleased with the result. Thoughts and advice greatly appreciated.

Clever idea to use the door frame to block the lights on the backdrop.

The background is very black and looks great. I think you have good separation of her from the background. Although having said that a little back lighting to separate her right breat would have revealed her form better.

Thanks for the idea.
