Hi, friends of the black and white community. I am pleased to be in this community because I feel that I have received such good support in this community. Some time ago, I posted in this community about my first black and white photo, and I was welcomed by one of the members and received very constructive support and input. Thanks, mate @jlinaresp. Because of that support, I started making my subsequent black and white work. This time it's not about old cars but portraiture.
This photo was taken by accident because finding a professional model it's very hard for a novice photographer like me. And finally, I asked a friend to help me become my model. Of course, she didn't have basic modeling, so getting a pose like a model was very difficult for her. Then finally, we joked a lot to create a good atmosphere, and then I took the photos that I think are pretty appropriate for beginners like me.
In making this black and white photo, I used one lighting with a octabox size of 120 and didn't forget one black background. The drawback is that the black background that I bought is not good quality (or maybe because I'm a beginner, so I can't maximize the ground). The background I use is not a paper background but a canvas material. So there is some uneven light in some of the photos I took. For the next step, someday, I have to buy a background made of paper because some of the photographers I have seen producing good images do not use a canvas background.
The idea in making this photo itself was to adapt the Rembrandt light technique. Because I think this technique is one of the techniques that can display a person's character. However, I have difficulty placing the lights because I only have a room size of 2x3 meters, and I don't think the final result looks like a Rembrandt light, or maybe because the face shape of the model used doesn't look suitable for this technique. I still have a lot to learn about using lighting in photography. For the record, this is my first photo using lighting.
And here are the results:

I am very grateful to you for giving me the enthusiasm that makes me want to continue working. Working with models is not easy, and especially when this photo was taken, she was no basic modelling. I did it just because I like photography.
I hope we can continue to work here.
Best regards
