Bruce of LA used that white ring in a number of his more dramatically lighted photos.
I can't really describe why, but it really works to enhance even a great model like Brian Idol.
probably a circular fluorescent lamp, the translucency when illuminated from the back and the fact that there is a brightness gradient at the 11 o'clock position that should not has been with a flat ring, point to it. These lamps were quite popular in the 50's. Why not to make a ring series?
This is gorgeous. What lighting! To me, ideally Brian would be naked. I too wondered if that might be a circular fluorescent lamp. Strong geometric shapes do work well as a counterpoint to the complex male form.
The ring almost looks like a neon light. The lighting here is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems to glow.
DeleteA beautiful image - the lighting is perfect and the white ring really does work well here.

Great suggestion! I'll see if I have enough photos to do that.

ReplyDeleteThe geometric element makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
