Location
I took this in my studio. My makeup artist spent 5 hours applying the spray paint to the model. We had to cool off the air brush machine several times in the refrigerator. We photographed the model against a black background and added the "clouds" with Photoshop. Of course, my idea was to photograph a "cyborg" and I think it worked very well.Time
10 a.m.Lighting
I used a 2 light setup with two mains placed at 45 degree angles right and leftEquipment
Canon 5D, 24-105 Canon lens. I rarely shoot with a tripod which allows me more mobility.Inspiration
I have had this idea running around in my head for years. Finding the right model was difficult. But, we found her!Editing
The only post processing was the addition of the clouds in the background with Photoshop.In my camera bag
I always carry my Canon 5DSR, several lenses including 24-105 Canon, 100-300 Canon, Canon macro lens, Canon 50mm 1.4.Feedback
Try to capture concepts rather than hit and miss shots.
