Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken in a naturally lit studio in Wollongong with model Bec Norris.Time
Mid to late afternoon on a nice summers day.Lighting
Natural lighting with gold reflector and fill flash to minimise harsh shadows.Equipment
Captured with the canon 40D & L series 100ml, F2.8 lens on a tripod in raw.Inspiration
We were playing around with different poses and when Bec did the Raaaw I’m a tiger I knew the fire would make an awesome image.Editing
The raw image was post processed & colour corrected in photoshop before adding the fire image as an overlay blend layer that’s been masked and Gaussian blurred then painted with soft brush at around 75% opacity to blend the two images into Bec’s Fire.In my camera bag

Don’t be afraid to experiment with layers and mixing blending modes. As long as you keep the original as the background layer and use a new layer for each different effect that way you can always revert back to the original if you make a big mistake.
