Location
At my small photostudio, i have out the model sara in front of a black wall lit with tiny christmas lights.Time
The perfect time ;) magic hour, somewhere in the afternoon when seagodesses rise to the surface.Lighting
I used 3 light sources, one to light the background, one on the left side and one on the right side with a blue filter. U didnt guess that one did you ;)Equipment
Canon 5DMIII, 24-70mm, bowens gemini 500 and generic christmaslightsInspiration
A brainstorm session with Sarina, the makeup artist. I wanted to create a creature and we started talking suddenly ideas sparked like crazy!Editing
Skin retouching and adding a bit of sparkle.In my camera bag
50mm 1.2 canon, 35 mm 1.4 sigma, 24-70mm 2.8 canon, 16-35 mm 2.8 canon, 70-200 mm 2.8 canon, Canon 5DMIIIFeedback
Try making scetches beforehand, find all the items you need and test them out if it has the right atmosphere. Some things will just not work the way you imagined them. Talk to your makeup artist and come up with a plan how to make this kind of look happen, the scetches will come in handy here. Choose the right model carefully; she/he can make or break your photograph. Experiment with light untill you got it, even when it takes hours to do so! Have fun ;-)
