Gabriella in Black & White

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 24 March 2008 in People & Portraits.

This is an image from a glamour portrait session that I shot not too long ago. Gabriella is a mother of 3 who models part time. The images from our shoot will be used to supplement her "book" or modeling portfolio. During the session, I wanted to try a different background besides the standard seamless that I use, so I asked Gabby to take a seat on the steps next to the studio. This was lit very simply with a single flash diffused through a shoot-thru umbrella. Some photoshop was used to remove some skin blemishes and the stencil painted on the wall behind her.

You can see more of Gabriella's work on Model Mayhem.

Thanks for stopping by.
