Thank you so much for your kind words Bill and Ron, they are truly appreciated!
Albeit it is Sarah Jane and the hair stylist on this shoot (Devon) who deserve all credit here.
Yes Bill; a BD 24" above Sarah (and 24" in front) yields the definitive butterfly shadow of paramount lighting.
A special thanks to Nikon for it's AF DC-NIKKOR 135mm f/2D on my D3x... a truly classic piece of glass :)
The hair styling is exquisite. And that lens is, too. A 105 and 135 on full frame/35mm film has always been a favorite for portraits. I used one or the other often in the 1970s – '80s.
