Black box – Simple artistic nude photos
This photo set of the gorgeous Annie Xie is only a small section from a half day shoot done in a Brisbane hotel room back in early 2009. I often work in hotel rooms because they are generally uncluttered, offer a variety of shooting spaces and give a a few more options compared to standard studio shoots.
In this case I wanted a very generic, almost studio look so we used a small piece of furniture for her to sit on and found a clean, white wall as to use as our background. Lighting was very simple and only consisted of one Nikon flash in a small softbox positioned to the right of the camera position. The camera used as a Nikon D3 combined with a 50mm f1.4 lens. Keep an eye out for more photo sets from this shoot which will show the variety that can be achieved from shooting in a fairly small hotel apartment.
