What a wonderful character you have captured here John... can't help to just start smiling along with her. Love the extreme jewelry seems perfect on her... looks like someone I would love to know.

Hi Sherry,
Bonnie is a unique individual. I like this shot, in part because the lighting is simple. I used a single strobe with a light panel/umbrella combination to soften the light. It gives a nice gradation to the face, and also makes the jewelry look good. The soft lighting also keeps down the sparkle on the jewelry, so you can better see her face. Thanks. #7285999

Wonderful portrait that captures the uniqueness of the model. She looks like a great lady. Love the skin tones, no doubt a result of the excellent lighting. #7287560

Hi Joan & Marisol,
This is a good example of what you can do with one strobe. It also shows how a good subject can make a photo. It was a real pleasure working with her. I am going to attach a shot of one of her hands. Thanks, John Siskin
