If it Works in B&W...

The muslin background I used on this shot is mostly a mixture of gray and light brown and not very attractive in color...I'm talking about the background, not the model.

I bought this at a camera show in Grapevine, TX a few years ago. When I saw it for the first time, it looked much darker with the browns being much deeper. But when I got it home and looked at it in natural light, it wasn't at all what I remember it looking like. I blame the florescent lights at the camera show.

But, it does look pretty good when used in a black and white photo which is why I used it for this shot of Kayla from our last session.  You end up with varying shades of gray with some texture. It wasn't what I intended when I bought it, but if it works, it works.
