With these images I tested lighting setups for a black and white series inspired by the 1940’s.
The goal was to achieve a strong contrast and sculpting of the face while retaining all the details.
To emulate the effect of strong sunlight on an overcast day I used several Profoto B1 Mono Lights with grids at around 3 to 4 meters above the scenery. Images were captured with a Phaseone IQ camera.
