I’ve had quite interesting concept photoshoot based on Little Mermaid book and movies. Styling worked pretty well for the theme, we even had one stinky crab on the set. I leave it up to you to figure out who’s who.
I stumbled upon these really interesting episodes about production and behind the scenes of the photo shoots for FQ and Sir magazines. The program hosts are Jeanne Beker and Michael King, they take you to many amazing locations, describe and show in details what goes into creation of successful fashion or beauty story. This program should be very interesting for any aspiring fashion photographer.
Posted under beauty photography, fashion photographyI never use the same lighting setup on my photo shoots. Maybe it’s because I started doing photography very late in my life and I feel like time is running out or I just get plain bored from using the same setup over and over again. Here is one image from recent beauty photo shoot we did with model Charmaine (@Icon) and makeup artist Kristy Muy:
I used 84” silver PLM from Paul C Buff as background. I wanted to get some mystic light on model’s skin so I suspended a hammock vertically fairly close to the model. I placed AB1600 with 7” reflector and 20 degree grid about 6-7 feet away from hammock. This way hard light was partially softened by hammock but still was leaving distinguishable marks on the skin.
