The brief, the light, the result
Corvin makes almost everything in black. Black cloth on camera loses its seams, its weave and its cut, so the light had to separate cloth from cloth.
A big octa gave the fabric its sheen, a gridded rim traced the shoulders, and negative fill on the shadow side kept the contrast honest. We checked every look at print size before moving on.
Twenty-four looks, forty minutes each, and the printer’s proof showed every lapel and pocket flap.
