On a recent commercial photoshoot for West of the Moon I found myself in the Leicester studio photographing scarves with the wonderful model Becki. The scarves were amazing to look at and no doubt destined for buyers all around the world, especially growing regions like China.
The shoot had mainly used the white cove background in the studio to show off the scarves on the model in full and half length poses. We had a few minutes spare at the end and I was asked for ideas for something different. I quickly setup a single light on the same white background on a low power. My favourite style of minimal lighting with lots of shadow gives the scarves a completely different look and feel within the image. The client loved the look and these last 5 minutes created another set of images that could be used in a separate promotional campaign.
