This is one of those shot that I imagined, but was not sure I could achieve what I wanted.
By using a combination of f/stop and flash power, I was able to capture the image as shown here. That is, there really is no post-production image manipulation.
Due to the sensitivity of the image (imagine where the camera is and what is in the viewfinder!) it is important to share the image with the model. I usually show all images with models, but this one was particularly important. (The model loved it, by the way.)
I could have turned it 90 degrees and called it “New Moon”, but having it “as shot” seemed to be the right answer.
Technicals: 50mm, f/8, ISO 100
