"I took this portrait using my Canon 5D Mark II. I aimed for a moody and dramatic effect, so I chose a low-light setup with a single soft light source to create gentle shadows and emphasize the contours of the subject's pose. To enhance the elegance of the shot, I styled the model with a flowing black fabric, which added texture and depth to the image. After capturing the photo, I used Photoshop to convert it to black and white, adjusting the contrast and highlights to bring out the details and give the image a timeless, artistic feel."
