If you've been following me for a while, you know that I typically use a white backdrop when I do studio photoshoots. But for this session, I finally changed the background color, and that's precisely what makes these photos special.

I recently acquired a new black backdrop for a photoshoot with this client because she needed a couple of photos with a black background.

Working with a black background is completely different. I have to be incredibly careful about how I position the lights to ensure the background isn't "contaminated" with light. The goal is to keep the background totally black while the client is perfectly lit.

To add a bit more complexity, the client also wore black clothing. The first shot I took was a disaster; her clothes blended into the background, haha! After a few test shots, adjusting the lights, I finally found the correct position, and we were able to get the photos!

The client was always accompanied by her boyfriend, who was waiting for his turn to take some photos together. These photos were very beautiful, you could tell they felt very secure with each other and complemented one another.

The next two photos turned out really, really well, especially because they suggested that pose themselves:

And I'll end with this photo, which can almost be considered "behind the scenes" because I moved around a lot and pointed outside the set. However, we liked the photo so much that we kept it.

At the end of the photoshoot, everyone was super happy with the results. I hope you like them as much as we did!
