Shot On Film - Recording Artist Brenda Minor:

Back at our Plainfield Studio in 2000, we did a series of photo shoots for recording artist Brenda Minor.  Brenda was cutting a new album and need a cover photo and some stills for promotional use.  She worked hard and was very creative.  This  image was actually shot in the waiting area of our studio.  Brenda wanted to sit down and rest a few minutes while I was in the studio setting up the lights for the next shoot.  When I walked in to get her, she sat up to talk to me she leaned over on her hand.  I had my camera in hand and asked her to smile.  This was shot using a Minolta XE-7 and a Rokkor 50mm 1.4 lens wide open on  Ilford Delta FP4 black and white film.  The lighting was provided by one the lamp on an end table with a 60 watt indecent bulb.  

By the way, this was the cover shot for the album.
