Shoot – Ruby True

I’m always keen to shoot alternative & fetish models as they bring something different from day to day glamour, Ruby being no exception.

We started off with some natural light shots. As this is what I do most, it’s ideal to have as a warm-up. There’s no setting up of lights & I know exactly where the light works so it’s a great way to get models relaxed before I do anything experimental.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we moved into the studio, I did something I pretty much always do & forgot to change the camera settings over from natural light, resulting in a very bleached out image. I had a mess around with it in photoshop as I liked Ruby’s expression & ended up with this oil painting, which I really like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was what I was aiming for once I’d set my camera up properly! The fairly strong contrast seems to complement the outfit & gives the photo a hint of Marlene Dietrich.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With this shot I was trying to light the shoes to show that they, the bracelet & the tie have matching teeth, but as it turns out, the shots that showed that didn’t show Ruby off as well, so I chose this one & used another pose to showcase the outfit…

 

 

 

 

 

…this one.
