Art Deco Themed shots at the library

Tee Why

I wanted to do an Art Deco themed shoot so I went with Iza to the Central Library in downtown Los Angeles, which is a very nice Art Deco building. We started a bit too early around 4PM and the sun was still a bit too harsh. The FlashBender that I just got and wanted to try out really diffuses the light which means that the light no longer reaches as far and I ended up using a bare flash or a sto fen diffuser much more than the flash bender. The building exterior and the dress seemed to be very similar colored which I think hurt here.

Anyway...
1. opening shot in front of the enterance


2.


3. Even shot a little inside, checking out the Dewey Decimal system here.


4.


5. South of the library where the view opens up a bit.


6.

8. Nice green door.

4 & 8 are to die for .... the other ones I feel like it's an awesome, good looking lady in a really busy, distracting area .... not feeling it .... I'd keep the background a bit simpler, just like you did in 4 & 8

Oh - but if you like the background ... how about a b&w treatment? (I'd try a vintage one) - that might be cool!

Thanks for the input.
I do have one or two in b/w from the day.

Wow, really nice. I agree that 4&8 are the best shots of the initial set and I like 1 as well. The B&W is stunning.

Wow, some really nice work here and she is a great model. My only gripe is that the Ink kills it for me.
