We have a group of photograph and model meeting every third Friday of the month. In winter in the Studio from Bôregard Photograph above Vevey in Switzerland. As soon as it get warmer we'll try to get out to enjoy the wonderful surroundings the area between Geneva Lake and mountains.Time
Evening, but in Studio, it does not matter.Lighting
This evening the theme was Candle-lights.Equipment
Nikon D5200, no tripod, I was laying on the floorInspiration
I have this candle tower at home that we almost never use, but I point it that it could be interesting. In the sametime we chat about fire risks and I joked about taking my volunteer fireman equiment. Helmet and its light was nice to turn on and make an "Towering Inferno" remakeEditing
