Fur
It is said that diamonds are a girls best friend. And yes, that might be true. But is it affordable for us ?? For a shooting ?? Don´t think so. But as far as i know girls like FUR as well and here we have enough material to work with. No, not the neighbors cat around the neck… way too risky. She could kill the cat while bending it around the tack :) Well a simple fur of a winter jacket will do the job very well.
I gave one of this jackets to her and you can see what she had done with it. She created an instant storyboard and executed the selfmade hide away story. I like that much and did the shoots without any instructions.
To give structure to the fur keep the light coming from the side and above. It adds great structures to her face too. Keep the focus to her nearest eye !!!
All shots done with Olympus E-5, Zuiko 12-60 SWD, 1/60 second, f3.2 and one single flash bounced to my left and over my shoulder into a white reflector…
