Location
This photo was taken in Madrid, at my friend Garci's studio.Time
It was an afternoon shooting. The makeup process was so long, it took about 4 hours and we started to take pictures almost at eveningLighting
Very simple setup: Key light from my right: Octabox 140cms 2 strip boxes as backlightsEquipment
Nikon D610 Sigma 85mm 1.4 ART Jinbei FlashesInspiration
A big part of my work is related to ballet dancers, and I wanted to work with some contemporary dancers, too. Tiffany DeAlba, dancer from the Cirque du Soleil at Las Vegas at that time, was taking classes in Madrid, so we arranged the shooting. The abstract makeup, made by Esther Sagbal, was absolutely incredible and matched 100% with the idea of the shooting.Editing
Some tonal work, it wasn't necessary to make a deeper editionIn my camera bag
It depends on the shooting. Nikon D610, Tamron 24-70 & 70-200 2.8, Nikkor 50mm 1.8D, Sony A6000 (mostly for video), Tascam DR-05 Audio recorder, Yongnuo YN622 wireless triggers, a couple of Cheap Neewer Flashes, color gels...Feedback
