This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

Greetings and hello everyone on the community. I hope that all of you are doing great. Weekend is just around the corner and I can wait for this weekend because I will have another studio work for portraiture.

SO today I will share another black and white portraiture of Diamond. This photo session if I am not mistaken was the second studio portraiture that being done with her. During this photo session I remember that I had to guide her on her expression and pose. She still "confined" on her "pageant" pose library. I wanted her to do poses that she never done before. Teaching her to pose was a little bit of a challenge but it was a fun experience. She wanted to learn more and she had this good attitude on listening and learning new things.

I am using one lighting for this portraiture. An umbrella with single diffuser mounted on a Godox 600AD strobe for the light. I wanted to make some dramatic shadows for the shoot but it was a little bit hard because of her wardrobe shows a lot of skin on the top plus her skin was very fair. All the light was bounced back and it took me a while to adjust the lighting and positioning of the umbrella.

Luckily it did not took that long for me to get the setup that I wanted. Below are some of her best shoot during the portrait session.

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

EXIF - 1/100 sec | f/ 5.6 | ISO - 160 | 85mm | 0 step exposure bias

The result was good and I am satisfied with it. I think I need to improve some of my lighting for future project. To get more dramatic result and focusing on the expression. What do you guys think? Do give me some feedback on the portraiture on the comment below and maybe some ideas for my future portraits or projects.

And that is all from me today. Thank you so much for visiting my post and I hope that all of you have an amazing day and always keep safe. Cheers!
