Sometimes things are planned and happen for a reason and other times they are spontaneous and unscripted. In my previous post, I tried a lighting technique on myself using a large soft box real close to my face. Besides that I am not fond of using my camera timer, I wanted to try the technique on someone a little better looking and interesting than me. So I asked Sophie to join me in the studio under the guise that she would be taking pictures of me. She was game for that. I told her I would have to setup the camera and light and after I took a few test shots we would reverse the photographer and model roles. She tired real quick of putting her face close to the light source and pulled my desk chair in front of the light and began to lounge. End result: impromptu lounging shoot.
