This is the third post covering the shoot where we were trying to produce images in the style of Helmet Newton. You can look at the previous post for the background to the shoot.

After we completed the domestic nudes images I moved into our lounge where I had another set up already in place. This consisted of my Godox AD300 strobe in a 80cm softbox.  

As in the previous location there was no diffusion material on the softbox. This meant that the light was harder than you typically get. The settings on the camera did not change f5 1/100s ISO100.

This image was not directly inspired by one of Helmet’s actual photos however they use of the bunny mask is not exactly original.

I positioned Johemiane on the chair and gave her a couple of props to interact with. She was absolutely brilliant at getting into character and this showed in the resulting images. The video below gives you a behind-the-scenes view of this part of the shoot. 

The image came out exactly as I visualised it. As with the others it was coverted to a high contrast black-and-white image using a specific recipe I had created in Silver EffexPro.

In the next post we move to the most complicated shoot of the session.
