9AM

At 8AM, direct light streams into the back wall of the studio and creates a great frame from the window. At 9AM, the sun starts to rise higher into the sky and push the shadow of the window lower and onto the floor.

Why is this important? Because in order for Katherine to be lit by direct sunlight she could not stand up. If she stood up, her upper body would be in the shadows and her legs would be under direct sunlight. It would have been challenging to reconcile in post and certainly not a look I was after that day.

So all her poses above were from the ground. But she made it work and made it work well.

As I mentioned in the previous post Wallflower, our recently painted grey wall came out still a touch blue. That might really be just a function of my editing as opposed to my ability to pick paint. I trust my eyes. But then again I was picking from an off the shelf color so you never know!
