Wonderful photograph! But, erm, please forgive my blatant ignorance, but how do you achieve the effect of a black background? I guess that would be called the backdrop?
Really? That's all? What about lighting conditions? Lol, sorry I'm asking so many questions. It's just that I really admire your work and I've done some experimental photography and I have not been able to achieve anywhere near you level of quality. Thank you for responding.
