Masa sara Modic This is a great example of how bad weather can sometimes lead to surprising and pleasing images. Mitja Kobal was working with Masa Sara Modic, who is signed to the agency www.immortal-models.com. The weather was too grey for the colourful image they were planning, but a tree vine made a great background. Mitja simplified the background by shooting at f/1.8 using a Canon 85mm portrait lens, and used flash on the model’s left and a reflector on her right to get some strong catchlights in her eyes.
