I took this photo in my studio.Time
It was nice cold day at the end of the winter.Lighting
I don't plan my lighting, just trying to improvise with lightning, this time I used some backlight and beauty dish.Equipment
I have used just simple camera Canon EOS 1000D Lens Canon 50mm/1.8 Shutter Speed 1/160 s Aperture f/8 ISO/Film 100Inspiration
At the end of the winter you just wait for the spring, you feel it in your heart, but it is still frozen and waits for the sun. I just wanted to put my feelings in the picture, to make some misteriouse and magic. I drow a sketch with the picture, I would like to get as result. Then I have found a beautiful model with good profile. I get some tree branches and some tree leaves (they left from one of my autumn shoots), and just paint them in silver color by paint tank. Also I have shown my sketch to make-up artist and hair stylist and they did a great job with the model. Also we have used a white hair spray paint.Editing
I jused a frequency separation for doing skin, especially with the border of the hair and face. Used some liquify filter to make a hair a bit longer and higher, because it was very difficult to hold hair in conus shape, it wanted to get down too fast. And I used a color toning to make the picture more frozen look.In my camera bag
At that time I used only Canon EOS 1000D and Lens Canon 50mm/1.8. Now I use Canon EOS 6D, Canon 50mm/1.8, Canon 85mm/1.8 and Canon 35mm/2.Feedback
Just let your imagination and feelings fly :), don't hesitate to create something mad or crasy, have fun with your camera.
