What's old is new again.
4ft vinyl Balcar Umbrella

Sometimes it's as simple as dusting off some old gear. Monique wanted a 60's inspired headshot. I thought of all the great shots of Twiggy done by Avedon in the 60's. He didn't have softboxes, he had big umbrellas. So I dusted off the old 4ft Balcar umbrella I used to use years ago and I liked the results.
This shot BTW was a simple tweak of a Jpegs shot in B&W mode on my nikon D2xs. Like some curve adjustments and away we go. So the B&W mode as some use! The RAW file can be converted back to colour anytime.

I think this is my favorite work I have seen from you. But of course I'm a huge Avedon fan. Is it white or silver?
It was a white Vinyl, so it's a neat look.
