Digital infrared original

Whenever
I can, I seek to make portraits of the people I photograph; while A_
and I spent the first part of the day working in a forest, I never found
a setting that worked for portraiture, but as soon as we arrived on the
glacial barrens, I immediately asked her to stand in the shade of a
large erratic, and made a series of portraits.

This
is by far my favourite image from this session; it takes full advantage
of the strong angular March light, and A_'s pose is a perfect for the
setting. The infrared camera really pushed the image to the next level,
with the model's luminous skin against the dark rock, below the dramatic
sky. I was really happy that we could realize such a striking
photograph on her first day of figure modeling.
I
really enjoy documentary images such as this; without it, it'd be hard
to understand how close I was to A_ as she posed on the rock - with the
17mm tilt-shift, I often am incredibly close to my subjects, but am able
to make images that are full of space.

The
last images of the session were of L_ lying on the bedrock, overlooked
by glacial erratics; again I was enthralled with the low angular light,
and thoroughly enjoyed how deep and dramatic the sky above her went in
infrared.
