Studio 2 - an actual model

Good fun tonight, but very challenging, as we were faced with some real model-time in the studio.

It soon became clear that the lesson was as much about speaking to the model and making them feel welcome, and at home, as it was about photography.

Lots of experimentation with lighting, poses, shadows and backgrounds but this blip is one I quite liked. I also already know what I don't like about the shot, but I won't go into that.
The model, Chris, wore glasses which were proving very troublesome to work the flash around so I asked him to take them off, and suddenly you could see his face and eyes much clearer. Thanks to him for his patience!
