A shoot with my wife Anu, in her every day business attire. This was the first time I shot Anu in a studio.
Anu really didn’t know what to expect on her first shoot in a studio. I didn’t either, but I didn’t tell her that. Anu helped with a shoot with a great local MUA, Yodit Tecle, who in turn did Anu’s makeup. Anu never wears complex makeup, so it’s a very unique look for Anu. I love this photo – very direct on with a certain intensity. I have been going through a phase of low key photography – something about the contrasts and colors that stand out with a black background, really catch my eye. With a dark background and a single light source, I love the lines and sharp look that is created. This isn’t posing, this is Anu saying, “Adam, what are you doing?” Typical. Classic black & white. I love how Anu’s eyes stand out.
