Some say contrast is everything in photography especially when in dark venues. Contrast with the light amount and quality of light is a key element to success and here is living proof of it.
It is in fact a complicated setup as the background is dark by nature and so is the dress. None of the elements and little details on the design are lost and the dark venue remains untouched. Even the models facial features are clearly discernible from the distance. Want to know what's the trick, exposure, the right exposure allows for this results.
Here is another more complicated example, with theatrical flood lights shining down on the subject's hands and a bit to cover his hat bill. Perfection is achieved by allowing the viewer to see the facial contours and the model's identity.
This is a great result and again it is all about the right exposure for what I suggest to use the right gear. Google Sekonic.com and you will find a full description of the right equipment with explanations and tutors for different scenarios.
And speaking of contrast here is a final shot to contrast the previous ones so you can compare the effects of a darker background versus a much lighter one. What's great about the amount of light allowed to touch the medium (digital sensor or film) is the final result which in reality is what counts and what you are rated on.
Look a the details of the jacket and the overall outfit, its like you know already the material it is made of, the weight and it gives you instant feedback of the product you are seeing. My reference element is the shine over the upper models head without posing glare on the cheeks. In other words, you get shiny gloss where is desired and wont where it is not.
Until the next issue, all the best.
