MODEL IN A CORSET

A 20-foot length of 2-inch-thick braided hemp rope brought about the idea for this shot. The concept was to create a corset out of the rope by wrapping it around the model from chest to thigh. She is posing in front of an unfinished 4-x-8-x-1/8-foot pine sheet. The aperture is set at 8.0 at a 50mm focal length. The ISO is set to 200 for maximum clarity at a shutter speed of 1/250. The key strobe light has a 5-foot octagonal soft box placed close to the model. Two small strip softboxes are placed on each side. A large 40 × 60-inch silver reflector is laid out on the floor, bouncing light upward. —MR
