Sometimes social media can be terrible, sometimes social media can be wonderful.
And this time it was wonderful.
Via social media I came into contact with Poeka and loved her portfolio, so I invited her over for a small testshoot, and she did impress me. So let me introduce Poeka, one of the new models for the workshops.
The face is an incredibly important part of a shoot, it’s where we get the expressions from, and of course it’s the first thing we look at.
So we have to make sure the face is always correctly lit and visible, right?
Well most of the times yes, but sometimes it can be very nice to play a bit with masks.
The nice thing is that first of all the mask itself will have some form of expression, but the thing that really draws me towards the use of masks is the way some of them respond to the light and what’s also very obvious is that when the model wears a mask she/he will have to work more with the body to create the look/expression you want, and this can give some interesting shots especially when you start combining it with some harsh shadows.
