Behind The Lens
Location
The video was taken in the models bedroom! We’d cleared away the furniture from one of her walls, set up a couple flash gels... and here we are!Time
This was taken after sunset and entirely with flashes and gels!Lighting
Flash gels are cheap and SO fun. Playing with light this way is my favourite part of photography. We had two slave flashes on the floor, one to my right and one to my left, both covered with a different gel colour.Equipment
Nikon D800 and two off camera flashes.Inspiration
Honestly, I rarely go in with a hard set photo goal. I go in with a concept or an idea and I let it evolve naturally. This wasn’t what I thought I was going to get when I got there to do that shoot... but I’m pretty happy with it!Editing
Yes! I boosted the colours, straightened, cropped, and fixed the skin. I entered the bar across the models chest and fixed the reflection in her glasses.In my camera bag
The most random assortment of things! Steel wool, prisms, flash gels, a sun catcher, my Nikon D800, a 35mm lens...Feedback
Throw the flash gels on and just go wild with them.
