Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my Chicago studio.

Time

We took this photo in the early evening so there wasn’t too much light coming in from any windows of my studio. Since we were using a projector, we wanted as little light as possible spilling in.

Lighting

We really wanted to do something fun and colorful for this shoot. It was completely lit using royalty free videos playing on a projector cast over the model.

Equipment

This photo was shot with my Nikon D600, we did not use any flashes or color gels, everything was done using a laptop and projector.

Inspiration

The model in this photo is also a burlesque performer, so we wanted to do a unique photoshoot for her to promote with that fit her electric style. We also created a short video using the projector and her white silk fans so the designs would be captured all around her with the white on white look.

Editing

The post processing on this image was fairly minimal. We did a little skin retouching, boosted the contrast and blues/magentas to really help the colors pop on this vibrant session.

In my camera bag

I love having a variety of options for my sessions, I always have my favorite 50mm lens along with a 24-70mm. Depending on the work I am doing, I will also have my 105mm to get those perfect macro and detail shots. Since this session, I have also upgraded to the Nikon D850. The one thing I always have with me that others may not have is one of my Polaroid or instax cameras. I love playing with instant film and having something my clients or models can take home with them immediately as a memory.

Feedback

To anyone who’d like to shoot something similar, embrace the darkness of your studio! Block out any light that may spill in and turn off any overhead lights, think of a movie theater and how dark it is so you can see all of the colors well on a screen. Also, avoid having your model wearing dark colors. This will help you see more of the projected image fall on them instead of being absorbed and only being seen on the backdrop.
