Karina and the Red Chair just chillin’ in the corner. This shot wasn’t planned, but as we were wrapping up our shoot, I decided we should do some shots back in this corner. In the past, I had done a shoot in this area and I recalled that this corner had some amazing character. As such, it was an easy choice to place Karina in this space and let her work her mood-setting magic.

Single light is above and forward of the subject, placed to camera right as shown in the BTS image. This is a case where little to no edits had to be done to create the final image. The location, the light, and our amazing friend and model just simply worked, leaving me little to do in post. This is always my goal, to “get it right in camera” and not rely on post-production to create the final image. (Doesn’t happen as often as I’d want, though 🙂 )
