I've always perferred shooting my black & white shots with film, but I've decided to try forcing myself to shoot my digital shots with the type of lighting that I want for b&w, and then convert the images.

Success has been rather mixed, but I have to say that I really adore these two shots. In this first one, she looks like such a badass.



Sarah asked if she could stop for a cigarette, and I decided to work her smoke into the shot. Thanks for being a smoker!
