jane

it was my first indoor shoot after a month-long outdoor photo escapade in the philippines. we asked jane, a colleague of ours, to be the subject and tried our friend's studio in sharjah.

the session was intertwined with fellow photogs who were also having a photo session that caused more laughter, booze and outtakes. while they're splurging the alcohol, miss b and i took the chance in making some serious shots.

i asked jane during the shoot what feared her. she feared that she will be stripped in her clothing... and so, i instructed her to lie down, pose in a fetal position. i covered her with black cloth and asked her to stiffened her limbs, fingers spread and toes pointed.

it was a top shot elevating myself to a chair then fired with a strobe on a softbox, attached to a boom stand pointing towards her.
