Location : basement of the models house, shown below.

model : Kirsteen Leask
Assistant: Charlote Walsh
Photographer : Christopher Harvey

one light was used in this shot and i wanted to spot light the model between the two pillars but i didn't want to leave it with harsh light behind the figure. To do this shot ideally i need a 'snoot' but with the lack of this equipment to hand, so instead i used a worn down old beer box cellotaped to the light.

The spot light worked so well, adds a vinette that centres your eye to the model and adds a more dramtical feeling t the overall image.

The dingy worn down walls add loads of texture but also makes the model look more beautiful contrasting her to the background.

I asked the model to look expression-less because i wanted her to look doll like and moody so she would have some relationship with the background (venue).
