The subject was shot on a green screen backdrop with a Canon T3I and Newer Strobe Lights. I used Photokey5 to remove the green screen and transfer the subject onto the background which is another photo, in some cases I use or design digitally rendered backdrops. Touch ups and filters were added in post production using Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Location
This is a composite photo, the model was shot in my old studio in Roanoke Va, Coffin House Studios Photography in Downtown Roanoke. The stairwell was shot at an earlier date it's a stairwell in NY that was shot while visiting a friend, in their apartment building stairwell.Time
I shot the model in the evening in the studio. And the stairwell was shot mid afternoon on a sunny day.Lighting
I used a 7ft parabolic umbrella to diffuse the light from the master strobe used to light the model in the first shot, and 4 strobes to light the backdrops evenly using soft boxes to diffuse the light.Equipment
I used a Canon EOS Kiss X6i for both shots. the model was shot handheld with studio lighting. The background was shot using a monopod and a shutter trigger to take the shots with a speed lite set on a flash bracket.Inspiration
Each shot was inspired for a different reason. When I shoot architecture, for some reason I have always been fascinated with stair cases, windows and doors. In this particular shot, I loved the repetition and the shapes within shapes. When I shot the model, I had already planned to use this shot for her background. I wanted to give the impression that she is in fact falling, plummeting to what will surely be her demise. Maybe she fell, maybe she was pushed, maybe she jumped on purpose? I wanted her expression to let the viewers decide the reason.Editing
Clearly, a lot of post processing was done here. I used several programs to achieve in this photo. I started by removing the green screen from the photo and placing her onto the background using keying software Photokey5Pro, from there I added several layers adding the sparkles, variations in light, and blurred effect around her body adding the illusion of motion, using Lightroom5 and CS5.In my camera bag
I am a Cannon girl 100% as far as Cameras. I love my Cannon EF 16-35 ML f2.8 L, it's the best wide angle lens I have ever used. I use my Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 in the studio for most of the Portrait work I do that is my favorite lens and probably the most expensive one I own. I also keep a good speed lite in my bag, something every good photographer should own. I have a few, I use a Canon 600EX-RT Pro for events, I also keep a newer E-TTL high speed sync flash kit in case I need to set up slaves. I use a custom made flash bracket, that stays in my gig bag for event shooting. A monopod, tripod, and a recent edition a gorilla pod. I keep a shutter trigger on hand just because I don't really like to use a time for some things. UV filters, a portable reflecter. I even have a small first kid, you just never know. Extra batteries for speedlites, and extra charged batteries for my battery pack. Lol I know it sounds like a carry I huge bag, but in all honesty I do, you can never be too prepared. And after years of shooting live concerts in tiny venues, touring with indie bands, I've learned to prepare for anything.Feedback
Be creative, and think outside the box. It's very important to learn and understand the rules of photography but after you do, learn to bend them even break them in some cases. I have always considered myself an artist first a photographer second. Lighting is everything in green screen. Practice, practice, practice that is everything. Don't be afraid to be creative, learn something new.
