Balloons and Shadows by Michael Creagh
Here are some more shots from the Susana Monaco Catalog for Spring 2010. The theme was shadows and we utilized an old friend; balloons. The entire collection should be on Susana Monaco’s website in the next few days (http://susanamonaco.com).

I love the old woman shadow in the background!




Here are the two I already posted last week.


The model is Martha Hunt from Next New York. Makeup was Martha Friedlander (http://marthafriedlander.com) and hair Wesley from the Wall Group. The photo was taken in my studio in Manhattan with my Hasselblad H3D 39 Megapixel camera with an 80mm lens. The settings were ISO 50 at F9 1/250sec. Lighting was Profoto.
Thanks!

Nice work as always Michael – would you mind explaining your lighting setup for these shots. I am just curious as to how you get such a nice shadow. Simply directional hard light?
Hi Rich
Yes, it is a simple un-diffused Profoto light: no beauty dish, no softbox, no fill light. One light and a wall….. and a beautiful model.
Thanks
Michael
