Black Widow
Hello, long time no post!
Today I have a couple photos from a quick shoot I did with model and twin Natasha Jakovna.
You may recall that in the past I've had a love/hate relationship with black and white photography. Well, if you've been following my DeviantART (and if you aren't, why not? There's a link at the top of my journal!) you'll notice that the majority of my recent work has been in black and white. In fact, I've come to prefer it. Color is rewarding, but has its own challenges. Black and white has a certain, I don't know, timelessness (I guess) about it. Anyway, rambling aside, my first photo is combining my favorites of both forms of photography: the rich darks of black and white, and the contrast of color.
There's more to see below the cut.
1.) "Black Widow"
2.) Here's a black and white version:
Ever wonder how I process my digital photos? Here's a look at the before and after, you can draw your own conclusions to what I've done.
