Behind The Lens
Location
The image was taken in an old Theatre In littlehamptonTime
It was Mid afternoon on a cold bleak uninspiring dayLighting
I placed the first speedlite behind the model to create a hot-spot hopefully creating a projector type effect and allowing me to use a rim lighting affect. I mounted the Speedlite on a stand with a Calumet remote trigger attached and used an orange gel to help soften the light a little. For the second Speedlite I used the same mounting but this time with a Nikon speedlite with a Model Type R Beauty Dish on 1/8 power attached just to right of the model allowing me to light the front from above to create a soft light effect.Equipment
I used X1 Canon 600EX- RT speed light and a Nikon Speed Light. Canon 5DMKII Camera Body & Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS II Type R Beauty Dish and a lot of batteries!Inspiration
I had seen whilst researching the shoot some photos that had been taking in old movie theatres with the projector in the background so i challenged my self to recreate that feel and look.Editing
Yes i reduced a little noise from the image and cropped it a little, then decided the image looked better in Black & White. Boosted the blacks a little and the contrast.In my camera bag

Remember to charge you flash batteries and try not to overcomplicate the image and make it too technical. Research you shoot ideas and the models you want to work with, plan the day ahead so you maximise your time and achieve the results you wanted.
