Amanda la petit ballerina (Patreon)

Amanda studied ballet for ten years at the Royal Danish ballet academy and then didn't make the cut at some point - Ballet is a tough cookie. But then, luckily, she took up modeling, and I shot with heh soon after. You can still see the power in her back muscles.

The first image is a horizontal softbox positioned just above the camera to light up her back muscle. 2+3 is my Trusty Zeppeliner with a diffuser on the front end. 4+5 is a small Fresnel I had bought on eBay. It had a Bowens adapter, but I converted it to Profoto. I preferred the harder light from the smaller fresnel than from my bigger one.

And the last image is shot into a make-up mirror with lamps on either side.
