Medusas Lair (Patreon)

For this particular shoot, I picked up Valentina the black pearl in Jutland after visiting a customer and hosted her for some days. On the way home, we checked in on a location I’ve used before around sunset, but this was early afternoon, so I had few expectations as the light was too high.

However, when you keep your eyes open, opportunities present themselves:

All these three shots were made within 5m from each other using the same wall.

The only difference is whether Valentina is in the sunlight or the shade.

Isn’t it interesting how much variation you can create whether or not you use to place the model in the light or use the shade (which turns ambient light into the primary light source)?
