Plaster Man


I had a wonderful day today.  I met a photographer from Montana through a mutual friend, and he was visiting New York and came to the house today.  He wanted to know about portrait lighting in the studio.  So we spent about 6 hours talking about lighting.  For 20 years I taught a portrait lighting workshop to young photographers and I came up with a nice way to demonstrate the lighting techniques.  I got this plaster head that was cast from a real live person, from a sculptor that I did freelance work for.  So I set up the plaster head and lit it.  I love this photo because the head looks ghostly, and it appears to be floating in space.
