<p class="gutenify-section-248e4e30-596c-11ee-8386-453c25c4a7c3">I have shot Sheldon Parnick for a few years now. She is a beautiful young woman, and makes worthwhile the effort to do something different each time. I guess you could say she is one of my "muses" -- capturing beauty is a joy, and enhancing it, either with techniques before the shutter clicks, or in post-processing later, just continues the delight. In any case, here are a few images from our latest shoot in the studio, in which I used three lights, and a "gobo" (a "go-between," a piece of cardboard with a cutout, to control where the light falls). This gobo is a challenge to use: you have to hold it between the light shining on the front of the model and the model herself, without letting the gobo appear in the shot. It is a more versatile way of concentrating light than a "snoot" or a <em>fresnel </em>("fray-Nell) lens (the kind used with on-camera flashes), but it's physically challenging to use, and press the shutter button. I could have used the 10-second timer on the camera, but that would have slowed things down considerably, and didn't guarantee that the light would be exactly where I wanted it on the face.</p>
