Loretta is someone I’ve known for quite some years now, having been present at one of the first informal photo-group meetups I attended back in 2008.
Having known her for a while and on account of her being very easy to work with, it’s no surprise that Loretta (Or Lola, or Llama) is a frequent face in my portfolio of experiments and learning exercises.
Shooting from home on white and black paper backdrops and using a couple of Elinchrom BXRi heads for the main lights (Along with an SU-4 mode SB-800 flash for accent) we tried for a couple of looks to try and feature the new hairstyle, courtesy of the Paul Mitchell company.
As always with our shoots together, one of the hardest things to do is stop her giggling long enough to get the “Serious” shots, which is why often I’ll just abandon that and fill the portfolio with captures of her in her natural state!
