Title: ‘The Girl with Pearls’
Camera: Canon 5dMk4
Lens: Tamron 70 – 200mm
Details: 1/200 sec at f8.0, ISO 250
Flash: Main – Godox AD600BM camera left, Fill – Godox TT685 speedlight camera right.
Originally shot for colour, magenta on one side of the face with a blue fill light, I felt it could also work as a dramatic black and white.

Really useful tip. Thanks Danie. Regarding skin etc. I was going for a harsh dramatic feel but I think I over cooked the harshness of the lighting leading to all sorts of problems in post loosing mid tones.

An amazing capture, but we’re not sure if the white edge effects or vignette add anything.

Thanks. I will look at a re-edit.

Thank you for posting in this particular category, Riette. Your image tells me the following story; “The movement portrays urgency to get away from something, or someone to protect her baby, thus allowing her baby the opportunity of a new beginning”.

I love this picture. It’s not nearly as risky as ‘Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,’ but I wonder what health and safety experts would say today about 30 models posing on window frames and a photographer hanging from a fire escape.

In this photo, Charles C. Ebbets stands high above New York City with a bulky camera in hand. He looks cool and confident, even in a situation that would make most of us dizzy. He’s known for taking risks to get the perfect shot, and this picture shows that spirit perfectly.
How far would you go to get the photo you want?
