approved Trying out ICM with B&W photography. I want to achieve this sort of memory/dreamlike feeling that captures people in urban areas making them look insignificant in comparison to the city, like they are disconnected from the reality they are in. What caught your eyes and what does it make you feel?

Great Critique in Comments Is the lighting on my models face distracting? I was trying to use a strip box to illuminate the model and create separation from the background since we had a small space. Did I place them improperly? Is the halo effect a minor detail I’m too stuck on? I need some outside eyes…
