I shot this cabaret pic in my 'old faithful' style. For years I ran around with a
Leica M6 and rolls of neopan 1600 fine grained black and white film. I loved the combination, I had taken so many photos this way under numerous light conditions. I knew it backwards. I figured you could get a photo in a black hole (well almost). This photo was taken backstage at the
Lido de Paris under pretty dingy lighting. I overexposed half a stop to keep the skin light, the Leica and the
showgirl did the rest.
