this is a studio work taken at my own studio in Zürich Switzerland.Time
we start shooting on Saturday the 6th Feb. 2016 and this shot was done around 17 pmLighting
The goal of this series was to work in blue light. So I used blue transparent folies (films) to cover the flashes. I used 2 flashes. A beautydish in front and a normal flash for the backlight. To get a complete blue lightning you have to turn down the flashes and work on a minimum power. If you high it up you loose the effect. And of course you need to set your white balance to cold lightEquipment
I am a Canon shooter and I use the Canon EOS DX 1. In this case I used my alround zoom lens of Canon the 28 - 300mm. The flashes are Hensel. 1 Nova D 2400 Generator and 2 EH Mini I SpeedInspiration
actual in commercials the bluelight is taken place. So I need to practice and like to experiment a bit. Blue light gives a special emotion and this is what I like to doEditing
I always do a post processing and I do it by my own. I use the Adobe Bridge and the RAW Converter to set up the right contrasts and colors. In Adobe CC photoshop I do at first the skin retouching. I use the frequenzy seperation to make the skin clean, than dodge and burn to set the highlights and shadows. After that I use the detail extractor from the Google Efex Pro 4 filters to give some parts of the picture a deep sharp. A little bit skin toning and that's it.In my camera bag
I use a photocase Peli 1510. 2 cams Canon EOS D5 Mark II and a Canon EOS DX 1. My Canon lenses are 28 -300 mm zoom, 24 - 70 mm zoom, 85 mm lens, 50 mm and a Sigma wide lens 12-24mm. Also a Speedlite 580EXII flash. And for some reasons I have a lightmeter from Gossen Digipro F and a Colorchecker x-rite.Feedback
shooting couples is a challenge. In this case we had two fitness models and we don't want to create a loving scene. Both have their own strong look. If you do couple shootings be shure what you like to show. Make them feel confidential don't use to much artistic posing.. If you use only one light - like I do in this scene - you have to feather the light. That means don't spot the faces. Find a light position that feathers it all without highlighting a special aera. This will give you this nice flow of light
