Location
My studio in Crookwell NSW AustraliaTime
Shots don at 10am on a Sunday as the model had to leave to travel 4hrs back home.Lighting
Lighting was, main light a Godox 600ws with an 1.5m parabolic umbrella and defuser, there was a hair light and another strobe placed on the floor behind the model. Place a red jell over one strobe and placed it on the ground to camera right and just behind the model. the main light had a 1.5m parra umbrella which was defused . the hair light was to the models right and was fitted with a snoot and grid.Equipment
Equipment used was a Canon 5Dsr, 3X Godox strobes with para umbrella, barn doors and a snoot. some coloured jells. Made a fog machine from a smoke machine and an old ice box. black backdrop.Inspiration
Have had this Idea in , my head for some time was trying to create mood and seduction. India-Rose the model was re visiting home so we took advantage of her stay and put together the shoot with both inputing on creative ideas.Editing
Post was in lightroom and photoshop, probably a little much but I get carried away some times.In my camera bag
2 cameras, Canon 5Dsr and a 1ds Mk3. 70-200, 24-70, 16-35 and an 80mm, 2 x on camera flashes, various leads remotes and a light meter.Feedback
Started the shoot trying to capture low lying fog but being Australia and hot the fog lifted very fast and ended up being smoke which in the end I think added to the mood. I had no assistant on the job which would have been invaluable as speed is essential. Having a model that is patient and helpful is a god send. P.S. I don't use professional models just local girls from my home town. I found once the fog started lifting I only had like 3 seconds to capture before the model was completely covered. My studio is 14m x 9m (46 feet x 30feet )in size and I kept having to open the doors and windows to let the smoke out as it didn't take long to completely fill it with smoke. The shot pictured was taken whilst standing on a chair as the model sat on the floor.
