Nivedita
You have seen her before, but I won’t blame you if you do not recognise her. She is one of the very few whose face can almost be sculpted with light to give new looks. Yes, she is Nivedita, who once again agreed to be my muse for an evening…. hopefully I will now onwards see her more often.
The lighting was done using two studio lights the main placed at 7 o’clock and the hair light at full intensity placed diametrically opposite. Shot using the normal lens on D70 at f20 for the great depth needed in these kind of pictures… focused manually to prevent the camera fixating on the cloth in front.
Lovely shot, beautiful model.
Thanks, will convey her your compliments
She looks gorgeous.But why the red lipstick?( if there was any reason ..I know it sounds like a duh question..but it seems out of place).
So that her lips stand out prominently – maroon or a darker shade would mean her lips would be lost in her skin colour…
Nivedita also was very reluctant to put on that colour BUT I learn’t the hard way that in studio always make-up your subject in shades you are not likely to be seen with your partner in public
First look – I thought she was Renuka Shahane…
I am not too good at photography, but I sure think this is a tough shot…
Liked it
Thanks, I am sure Nivedita would be pleased with the reference
Yeah, she reminded me of Renuka Shahane too..
