Studio Portrait by ©Duvy McGirr

Portraiture is one of my favorite photography genres. For me, preferably in a studio setting. Strobe lights are my go-to lighting. Studio portraiture is excellent because I get to make a carefully thought-out storyline with outfits, makeup, lighting, and arranged backdrops. Below are several examples of the same model communicating different storylines.

Here are a few more studio portraits of different models. The model with the pink blouse is my daughter.
