Still playing around with black-and-white tones. This time, I went with less contrast, so more of a low-key feel, not just in the overall scene but in the figures themselves. In doing so, the texture isn’t so blown-out as in my previous black-and-whites.

I love the dreamy look of high-key, but for more focus on facial features, I’m starting to turn to a greater range of light.

 

In return for modeling for some of my other projects, I agreed to give Agnes and Soph some portraits. Siblings are generally easy to work with. There’s a comforting familiarity that lets them act naturally together. To tell them apart, one simply has to observe how differently each acts in front of a camera.
