SEAL, take 2

This is another shot on the SEAL Table I designed back in 2007, and still one of my favorite. I made this picture back in 2008, with a striking Zambia model, Joyce, her beautiful dark skin made a sharp and attractive contrast against the high polished 316 stainless steel table, here in this case she was sitting on the table.

It was a challenge to take this picture with a lighting control over the highly reflective conical shape table legs. I use a few lights to flood my studio floor and walls that shines the table itself, as well as on Joyce. Taken with Phase One P45+ on Contax 645, mounted with Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 45-90/4.5 for this image, one of my favorite images.
