Catalina in Black & White

I wanted to to a bare-shoulders portrait, and I placed an ad for a model. Catalina applied, and we exchanged a few emails with questions, answers, and details. Then we scheduled a session for the following weekend. During the shoot, I remember taking a few frames with this elevated, 3/4 perspective and pausing to review them, thinking positively, "Yep."

Captured in color, converted to warm monochrome. A little "Tri-X" grain added for old-school texture. 

Model: Catalina Schwartz (links to her Instagram)

Camera: Fujifilm X-E3 with Fuji FX90mm at 2.8 (shallow depth of field). Soft continuous light. Handheld.
