The idea was to project the light through a small hole punched on a black card—a sort of DIY gobo. It made a light the size of a quarter.

Norton used a Profoto D2 as a backlight to create a beautiful rim light against a black background.

The model was also wearing black. The idea was to create an extremely low key image with the focus on the model’s eye and the shape of her head standing out against the background.
