Location
This photo was taken in my car port. I had to put a tarp to close it up because everyone was walking by and looking it. Was kind funny actually.Time
We did this closer to the evening so that it could be as dark as possible. We sure did get eaten alive by misquotes that night!Lighting
There were two flashes behind the subject. One on each side, I put two pieces of black board in front of it so I wouldn't catch the flash in the camera so that only behind the subject would be lit up as well as the flour. I also had an Alien Bee400 on the right side to light the subject up from the front.Equipment
This was taken with my Nikon D610, with my 24-70, two flashes and a alienBee400Inspiration
I was inspired to take this photo after a famous newborn photographer. She did a video of her daughter doing this, so i decided I would give it a try with my own twist and taste.Editing
This image isn't straight out of camera, but there was very few things I had to do to it. I brighten and sharpened my subject and flour particles. Then painte on my black background to be darker.In my camera bag
I usally carry my Nikon D610 with my Nikkor 70-200. I love that mix. But I also have my 24-70, 50mm and my Macro 90mm.Feedback
Honestly, I think the key is where you place your lighting. I would be testing out where you lighting go to get the backlighting, and also, most importantly, having those black boards in front of your flashes on an angle. Also make sure your ceilings are tall enough!!! I made that mistake, all the flour hit the ceiling. So we had to do light throws of flour.
