 Photographers Notes
Okay – far outside my comfort zone on this challenge. I don’t think of myself as a portrait photographer. Don’t have a studio. Not facile with lighting. Don’t know how to find models. Far … outside my comfort zone.

But I do have a friend and colleague who is a model. She agreed to let me experiment by taking photos of her. Here’s one. This was fun and not as awkward as I feared it might be. She is so attractive it’s hard to take a bad picture of her.

Thanks Meagan.

An Attractive woman!.. I would have cropped to focus on her face and more importantly her eyes! BW processing is good. 7

The dark of the camera is a great offset for the high key.

I like it a lot. White as snow and that black cam to cement the image.

This is a beautiful high key image; IMO, it would do just as well without the camera.
