Artist's Comments
Another Gene shot as an idealised femme fatale circa 1919.
Stage right - Natural light Stage left - large reflector Centre, lower - fill light, in this case a distant flashlight. You can do that with miniatures. No filter on the light. Sometimes, and this'll make you barf, to diffuse the lighting on my light I use either thin materials like tissue paper OR I rig a condom on the light. And IT WORKS!
Ah but the tissues or condoms work indeed! The light is beautifully diffused I think I'm going to fav it anyway... and I have to try diffused light too with such a nice glow around the subject Always wanted to do that
Here is another trick that I used on this picture to diffuse:
Copy the main (Background) Layer Go to Levels and lighten the Copy Layer On the Copy Layer go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur at 4-20% Reduce the Layer Opacity to 40-50% Flatten image VOILA!
