Joyce

A jewelry shot I took in 2008, with an interesting model from Zambia. Interesting also is her name, Joyce, which echos the love of jewelry.

I like the pitch dark skin tone and nice contrast against the custom jewelry. Shot with Phase One P45+ fitted to Contax 645, mounted with one of my favorite Carl Zeiss Apo-Makro-Planar 120/4.

This is one of my favorite image, especially the full lips of Joyce lit by the crystal that gives the picture a little more life than otherwise a static capture.
