DOROTHEA BARTH-JORGENSEN BY PAOLO ROVERSI FOR VOGUE JAPAN JULY 2013 | The Fashionography

Can't post the images since they're not mine so I attached a link

Anyone know how the lighting can be achieved? What lighting is used? I'm guessing a long exposure, maybe even up to a second..

they look very poorly lit then heavily edited to arbitrarily bring most things into shadow (look at ear on girl in first shot) and overly smoothed to remove any detail.

Im guessing a snooted bare flash/light of sorts on the subject, then a light for the background.

What do you think about settings? Something about her skin tells me it was maybe a long exposure portrait no?

I know that would kind of contradict your flash point (no right or wrong on this of course)

Just curious to people's opinions on it
