Location
This was taken in a studio, shared with friends photographers, we all are amateurs and explore for fun. As pretty models are time consuming and difficult to find, we admitted the best was to play the role of model ourselves taking turnsTime
The session began à 8 PM, but the atmosphere was so cool that we can't estimate the accurate moment of the most productive part of the sessionLighting
The model proposed the theme one week ago, and we all admit it was a good idea. But the problem to be solve on the D day was to manage dust and dandruff combined with dark clothes under 4 powerful flashes : welcome in hell !Equipment
At the time I used to shoot with an old and obsolete Canon EOS 50D + 24/105 f/4L IS USM 2 studio flashes front 2 studio flashes rearInspiration
It was the model proposition expressed as need to explore new territories. I was ok, and personally more interested in playing with opposed side of the theme like tropical weather versus winter skiing clothes (see my gallery, another version reworked in Photoshop)Editing
The post process was made in Lightroom-6, as a standard development. At the time I had not experimented any additional pluginsIn my camera bag
My Canon EOS 7D Mk II is my best friend + 24/105 f/4 L IS USM + 16/35 f/2,8 USMFeedback
Essential : vacuum cleaner is indispensable to facilitate dust and dandruff management !
