NATASHA’S TOP 3 SHOTS

Photographer’s have shot Natasha from all over the globe

PHOTOGRAPHER: GARY BROWN

THIS WAS from my first ever Zoom

shoot, back in April, and was great fun.

Myself and the talented Gary Brown

worked a lot out in that first shoot.

PHOTOGRAPHER: ANIBAN SENGUPTA

WE USED a black background and blue

flash gels to give this image a cool tint

and mysterious look. The lighting picks

up the details of the outfit perfectly.

PHOTOGRAPHER: MARTIN STUBBING

I LOVED creating this suggested nude

image with Martin Stubbing, which looks

brilliant in black and white and has a

fantastic amount of contrast.

YEMI’S COMMENT

To ge t a n

entirely new

look, we set up a

different background.

This time Natasha used

these double-sided collapsible Lastolite

backgrounds and changed into this

bodysuit which went well with the darker,

cool navy tones of the background. We

stayed with the mid-length portrait

perspective and I asked Natasha to strike

a few poses, though her elbow was

cropped off, so I asked her to move over

slightly to stop this happening. I also

wanted to play around with the camera

settings in Canon EOS Utility 3 as, up until

now, I’d been shooting at an aperture of

f/6.3 and both Natasha and the

background had been pin sharp. I tried

shooting with the widest aperture of f/2.

which blurred the background nicely,

though because of the delay between

taking the shot, even if Natasha moved a

little her eyes weren’t as sharp as before,

meaning that I reverted back to

the aperture of f/6.3 for safety.
