Ben, you are the master of mood lighting. I love the series. The luggage cart and the hallway shots are my favorites.

Whoooo!

Her face is sooo revealing with side effects of smoking. This is unique and beautiful. I really love it. Thanks Ben for showing your latest work.

The popping and dark look is very unique. Always envious of your creativity

That is great Ben. The first one is my favorite but I like them all. I like that desaturated look of the cover photo. I never like my own photos when I try to give them a desaturated look, then again, I'm not a master in lightning techniques ;-)

How many light sources did you work with here? And what kind?

I used the Portrait setting for the Portrait and the Landscape setting for the Landscape images of her...Man you are a Genius. How did you figure that out so quickly????

Thanks for posting. Amazing images. I like them all but I think the hallway shot is my favorite. Somewhere in Paris?
