I was debating with myself to put this one here, in the black and white or window threads...

The answer is clearly "yes." Classic noir.

 Thank you Ian. Classic noir indeed. Once again I find myself inspired by the works of Will Eisner. If I can, I'll make more of this at this very time and location with more people.

Been under the weather recently,  but sufficiently on the mend today to drive to Sweden (not very far off, by the way). On this trip I packed my old Df together with the modern Z bodies. Culling the files later reminded me how nice and malleable the NEFs from Df are.

  Thank you Birna.

  I´m sorry to hear that but happy you are feelling better and...always a treat to see your images.

Seems your strobe need a modeling light ? It helps to no longer be in darkness

Wonderful portrait, did she liked it?

It has a been a few years since  I have done any studio photography

  Hi Armando, I'm sorry for the late response, I don't know how I missed your comment.

  I was using the Godox AD-B2, an accessory that allows two ad200 to be used together and has a modelling light. The output was enough to guess the end result and to work but not enough for the Z6 mkI autofocus.
   And thank you! Yes, she did like it and even more her mom who asked for a copy to hang in the house. Best compliment ever.

   I do miss seing you studio work.

I'm glad that you are feeling better. You are right that there are subjects everywhere. But how to see them?!

A brooklet on the Norwegian-Swedish border. This is deep into the conifer forests and drainage waters are peat coloured.
