I contacted model Alex Vang about working on a test series with me where we would shoot by candlelight only. Regular readers will know that Alex is one of my muses. She always brings it - sometimes with a vengeance! It isn't often you nail it so early in the shoot. Rarer still are the times you get it on the first click.

Processing steps from that first click.

Fledgling photoraphers, this is why you hire a professional model and cultivate a working relationship with them. I got in one shot an image to fulfill my vision. The rest of the shoot was gravy. Note to self: bring gravy to the next shoot. Maybe I should have written "icing on the cake" instead of gravy. Note to self: bring icing. The cake is optional.
Thanks to my pal, Alex for once again being the external locus of creativity. My images would be empty without your amazing presence.
