Embrace the Dark
By Michael Connell
We shot this image at dusk in the small town of Taylor. It was rather windy and I didn't have an assistant, so umbrellas were out. I used a gridded speedlight to light the model and a second bare speedlight was fired along the wall behind her. I converted the image to black and white and increased the contrast and black point in Adobe Lightroom.
