Texture

I love adding texture to photographs. I love it even more when photographs have their own texture. Thanks to Michael for showing me this dumpster to shoot in. It is nothing but texture at every turn.

This photo, from the same day, did not have it's own texture, I added it. And I also used horror lighting for this shot. My gridded light is pointed up at her face from about 1 foot away. "They" say never use horror lighting (especially on beautiful women), but sometimes it just what the image calls for. Christina knew just how to work the light to make it work. I find it very useful to tell the model where the main light is and what you are trying to achieve. If they get it, they work it!!
