Browns are celebrating their 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion recently invited a number of high profile fashion designers to contribute exclusive designs. Vogue.com have already picked up on this event and splashed one of our photos across their front page!
Our small team photographed about twenty-four looks over two days. The brief was classic, elegant simplicity, and did not call for anything more than a very minimal studio setup. At one end of the room was a skin-shaded background; in front of it, two strobes.
I needed beautifully soft illumination and a single, pleasing shadow - the key light therefore had to cover the model from head to toe. After experimenting with a rather harsh beauty dish I opted for a one-meter wide umbrella. Not only did it bathe the model in a gloriously smooth light, it also did a marvellous job of illuminating the background. My fill light was nothing more than a medium sized softbox. It's not the number of lights that's important, but the quality of light and it's location.
