  Ava
Ava
If you look closely it looks like Ava is a baby vampire because she is cutting her eye teeth before she is getting he top front teeth.
ISO 200 - 1/125 @ f/9.5.
Three light set up, with 1 light with barn doors set to lowest setting (meters around 2.8) and pointing at her from the back. Main light feathered across her from her left meters at 5.3, third light with a white shoot through umbrella metered at around 4 and feathered across her from her right side. Then converted to B&W in PSCS2.

Jayme S. Hall 		  Michelle- you don't make it easy on yourself. Using a high-key setup on a low-key dark background :) The facial tones seem about right but the hat is blown & lacking much detail. That's not always a bad thing, but I think I want a little more detail. I must admit, I've never tried a high-key setup on a dark background, so I really have no frame of reference :( I'll have to try it sometime :) Otherwise, a nice compositional choice & sweet smile :)

Michelle Mondeau 		  Ha! Jayme, that was a BIG OOPS. I typed the wrong portraits info in this one's box. Thanks for questioning it. Hopefully the correct info will make a lot more since.

Jayme S. Hall 		  Yeap Michelle, this does make more sense :) Glad I didn't try this, I probably would have said to myself, Humm... how'd she do that? :)
