Mary Bowers with katana.
Here’s one take from a recent session with Mary Bowers at UC San Diego. I had a katana; she wanted to look somewhat like a ninja, and I figured UCSD was probably one of the safer places to have a woman running around with a sword.
This shot, with one flash up front and a second in back to provide some edge lighting, was at the base of the Niki de Saint Phalle Sun God sculpture.
