Second shot from Thursday's first "Soho Noir" session with Vicky.
I'm really pleased with the balance of clean strobe and sodium/fluorescent lights to work the "neo noir" tone set.
Lesson for next time - her hand is probably over exposed, and the highlights could be a little less intense on her face. I'm going for a sort of "Vogue noir" - so not the mad, ultra hard contrast of proper film noir images. This is probably a little too half way. The strobe does probably need flagging better to keep it off the cage - behind her head the orange glow diminishes as a result.
Lots more to come in this series!
