If you have a great subject or a model half the battle is won. Kharunisia is superb in this sense. Give her a theme and whatever props and she will do the rest.

This was taken at a workshop by Manuel Librodo organised by me in Kuala Lumpur. Kharu was given the Chinese opera costume and she did her own make-up to suit the theme. Manny and I did a reflection series of her. Lighting wasn’t too good hence the high ISO and slowish shutter speed.

Used Nikon D200 + Nikon 28-70mm APerture Priority @ f/2.8 1/40s ISO400.

Learning point: Reflective surfaces can make interesting background too.
