{ Razor Thin }

I love my 85mm lens.  It is sharp, contrasty and allows for a great shallow depth of field.   You can see it here where there is basically a couple inches of focus on MR's face.  I was also trying out my new Photoflex Starlite - a continuous light source.  It's a cool little light that I'm going to be trying to learn over the next few days.  This was shot just in our living room and the blue blob you see in the background is Dominic sitting in a chair - lens was wide open at 1.8


Mary Rachel is always ready to be my go to model so within the span of 45 seconds she was ready to throw some poses down and vogue for me.  The one above was my choice - the ones below are the full set.
