I love interesting and harsh light like this! Gives you the out of the norm portrait. Very well done! I love how she fades into complete blackness. #84772

Nice shot Alex. Can I ask how you set this up. I am looking to do the similar shot soon. Did you use natural light? What is the black in the background? Did you do any work in Photoshop or other program?
Thanks for your help. #353434

I used natural sunlight from a single glass door in a dark hallway.
The black background was not totally black, so I cloned a few light areas away in PhotoShop, and raised the contrast quite a bit.
Apart from that there is no manipulating.
