Bruce Roscoe Loc: Arizona

This image was taken in Monument Valley Arizona. Bella is a three year old Navajo girl. and lives on the Navajo reservation. This image was taken inside their Hogan. A Hogan is a round home which has juniper logs on the inside with dried dirt covering the exterior. The door in a Hogan always faces East so they can wake-up to the rising sun. In the top center there is a hole about three feet square. The eight inch vent pipe from the wood stove runs through this hole, leaving plenty of room for light to pass down through the hole to light the inside of the Hogan.
I used this beam of light along with my Westcott Scrim Jim to light Bella. If you don't own a Scrim Jim from Westcott your really missing out. The kit comes in a carrying case with frame, a white and silver reflector, along with a 3/4 stop scrim. It's worth the investment!
I'm going to be running "Portraits of The Southwest" two and three day workshops in Monument Valley come April. The workshops will be based on landscape, and Native American portraiture. Lunches will be traditional Native American food. If you have interest please e-mail me at aiyanastudio@gmail.com

Some excellent shots there on your site Bruce. Love the rich but soft colour and the evocative b&w portraits. Great to see a little sample of how you do it in this shot!
