Continuous light for easier shallow depth of field. In the days of tungsten fixtures and huge scrims.

Nice photo.

But for beauty (or even for cat) photos I prefer low-powered studio strobes, which give you bigger pupils.

Beautiful portrait! Those eyes are so penetrating yet vulnerable. Was this a b&w image originally? I love the colour pallette.

Hi Eric, Thank you! It was originally shot on color slide film. Agfachrome. I used a Nikon DeFocus Coupling 105mm lens for the shot. Probably desaturated it a bit in the scan for client use.

Agfachrome was my favourite! It was perfectly colour balanced for YYC's latitude. While cleaning out the darkroom, yes I have shut it down after 60 years, I came across a partial box of 4x5 Agfachrome. So sad to see it hit the garbage can. Had some leftover Agfa RSX 100 too.
