Playing with Light: In the Studio with Kym

 

I do a lot of location work and lean toward natural light, but Kym invited me to come and shoot her in a studio context. We decided on a few themes ranging from elegant dresses through to art and implied nude. Being mindful of blanket statements but on a very technical level, photography is concerned with control of light.

Kym is of Chinese ethnicity, and we wanted to play with her skin tones. High-key images have their place, especially in the context of product photography but leave little to the imagination and we sought to bring some erotic mystery, including the portraits. I took these using my A7body set to F11 and 1/125 and 35mm third-party prime lens.
