Francesco Carrozzini

Daphne Guinness shot by Francesco Carrozzini

This photograph sparked my interest because of Francesco Carrozzini's ability to create such even lighting.  Now having been in the lighting studio, I understand how to achieve such a lighting scenario like this one to the best of my knowledge.  The soft lighting projected onto the subject allowed for the artist to achieve great detail in the fold of the clothing without overwhelming the photograph with harsh shadows.  The shadow which falls to the backside of the subjects face is a very soft gradual shadow that can be hard to accomplish.  Also, when I look at both arms in this photograph, I notice that while both against the body, there are hardly any shadows from either direction.
