Location

This was a Studio work

Time

daytime

Lighting

this is a color gel shooting. Using Blue, Green and Yellow color gels

Equipment

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 Speed

Inspiration

Jack Hicks is the master of color gel shooting.. I was always inspired to do a shooting like that.. And this is one of the results

Editing

I always do a post processing and I do it by my own. I use CaptureOne as RAW Converter to set up the right contrasts and colors. In Adobe CC photoshop I do at first the skin retouching. I use a part of 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

Color Gels shootings are a challenge. If you use different colors you have always a mix at the crossing points. This makes it interesting but you have to be careful to find a good balance.. This is a shooting to learn a lot about colors and mixing.. And it will makes you a better photographer if you start understanding it.
