Hello to all my friends in the Black and White community.
I’m Manti, and today I’m sharing a portrait session done in a simple studio setup using natural-looking lighting and structural framing.
In this set, the subject is a young bride positioned behind a classic window frame. The space was intentionally kept minimal, with soft drapes and a chandelier in the background to avoid visual distractions and maintain full focus on facial structure and pose.
In the first image, she places her hands on the glass, with her face turned slightly outward. Soft light from the left highlights one side of her face, creating balanced contrast and clean shadows.
Subsequent images show slight variations in her hand placement and posture. In one, she rests her arm across the top of the frame while turning into a three-quarter view. The light positioning at a 45-degree angle helps define her features more sharply.
One wide-angle shot captures the chandelier and room structure along with the model. A 24mm lens was used to preserve depth and balance the subject within the space.
The primary goal of this session was to use light and geometry—without relying on decorative props—to create focused, professional bridal portraits. Minimal equipment, clear direction, and simple styling made this session effective and efficient.
Thank you for staying with me through this post. I hope these frames offer useful ideas or inspiration for your own work.
Until next time—farewell.
