As for posing the character, the great thing about the elegance and aesthetic of the female form is that it has an enormous range of expressions and you can get tons of different poses and keep a nice looking silhouette (Fig.17).


I didn't want anything too extreme though, so for the final image I went for a simpler pose that showed the character's attitude: cute, rebellious and playful (Fig.18).

Lighting & Rendering

I wanted to recreate a real fashion photo shoot light setup, so after some quick research on the internet, I analyzed some great pictures and found a nice setup that enhanced the subject's silhouette. I arranged four Area Lights around the model (Fig.19 – 20), one main light (Fig.21), a fill light (Fig.22) and two more pointing towards the back of the model (Fig.23) creating a nice rim light.
