Patrick Krolis: yes Consuela, this is my favorite one from the shoot, when I went through the shoot, this was the one that stood out for me. It had bot the feeling and the look I was trying to accompish.

Patrick Krolis: Thank you very much Michael, I tried to keep the focus on the dress by lighting it like this, while adding a touch of mystery by keeping her face out of the light.

Patrick Krolis: Thank you very much Ginnie, I will tell her so she might actually be closer to your neighbourhood than mine at the moment

Patrick Krolis: Thank you very much Ellie, in this case I deliberatly choose the deadcenter as to force the readers attention to the model and her dress. you should not be wondering "what is she looking at"

Patrick Krolis: White on White is indeed not easy, but by making sure you get differnt lighting intensities on the different whites, it all becomes different shades of grey. By having the model closer to the lights, she is whiter than the backgroudn which is a few feet behind her. On the other side I chose not to fill in to strong so there the light on the backgron from the same mainlight on the left is stronger than on the right side of the model.
Again it is all about the light, white on white, diferent light, many shades of grey!!

PS shot in a "white" studio environment, on main light on the left, all the other light is bounced by the walls and the ceiling.
