Detroit Model Photographer – Marilyn Monroe

 The challenge with this particular shoot was to pull off a sultry emotion in the images without being onsite at an appropriate location and only using a white background. The lighting setup was beyond simple (I used a single Elinchrom soft box!) so everything was in the careful positioning of the light itself to provide the overall effect.  This is especially important with this shoot since I wanted to have a beautiful light fall off so so viewers could still see portions of “Marilyn” that weren’t directly lit without details being obvious.  With such a simple lighting setup and background, proper styling was critical for this particular photo shoot and everything came together to add to the overall look.  I really love the final images and definitely think we pulled off the feel we were going for.
