Trudy & Pauline - January 2010

I found the perfect background for them, with the circular silver opening, dark center and muted green. I knew what I wanted, to light the people & reduce the background exposure, even though they were close to the wall. I also knew I would have near-specular reflections from the flash on the silver, because I couldn’t place the flash far enough from my camera, as I had to hold the flash.
