Honestly, my wife has been reluctant to model for me. She is way pickier than my other models and has forced me to work really hard to get to the point where she's portrayed the way she wants to be seen. She likes this one. :) > I love the way that her face is the one brightly lit subject in all of that > dark negative space.

I have some tighter framed shots I have't processed yet. Pretty sure I did a closeup like you're describing. > By the way, did you also process it in color?

But we shot this set intending to have them in b&w and we did not spend any time harmonizing the colours. Colour was used to get specific tones in the b&w rendering, so the b&w is significantly better than the colour raw.
