Lighting Techniques and Lillian Bassman.

[jwbryson1]

A friend suggested that I check out the work of Lillian Bassman. I must say that I find her photos to be a bit bizarre in terms of lighting. Very unusual. I'm not sure I find it that exciting. I also don't find baseball very exciting, but I'm told that if I followed the statistics of the various players that I would find it more appealing. layball:

Does anybody know her work and enjoy it? I suspect that her lighting techniques are very complicated and sophisticated. But what do I know?

just very stylized work! I like it.. but wouldn't care to reproduce that style. It works for her types of subjects... I don't shoot those subjects.
