Boudoir photography gallery background: this photograph of Yelena was taken in the studio using two studio flash heads. The set was quite simple - a bed and a mirror. It is worth noting that though using mirrors in boudoir photography is a great way of adding interest to a shot, you need to be careful not to get yourself or other distracting objects into the shot; getting the angle of the mirror right was probably the most time consuming part of this whole shoot!

Technical Information

Camera: Canon EOS 7D DSLR

Lens: EF28-70f2.8L at 65mm

Exposure: f7.1, 1/250, ISO100

Lighting

I wanted a high-key, back-lit look to this shot (originally I wanted to use window light, but the weather turned really bad). I switched to studio lights with a softbox in front of the model and a more powerful direct light behind/right.

Post Processing

Conversion to black and white (by simple desaturation in Aperture 3) and a contrast increase using an S-curve Curves adjustment - again in Aperture 3.
