Studio Lighting

This photograph is my first studio lighting. The work is figurative and shot from a medium distance from my subjects straight on no angles. It is a dark image which I like too do very much in my photography. I found it very hard to be inspired by a studio my inspiration comes from nature or interesting locations. I like this photograph but it is all due to my models facial expression. Even though I tried to bring the nature into the studio with flowers on there heads I think its cute but the photo would still be just as strong if not stronger without them and the umbrella I find somwhat interesting, but overall it is a distraction. I love the lighting because I did not have a hadow like almost all of my other classmates because I do not want to do what everyone else does. I also just think that overall they are beautiful and look like fairies.
