Waves plus flames a bit too much. Flames alone is adequate.

Behind The Lens

Location

the photo was taken in an old warehouse in Lancashire England, It would of had cotton mills in it a hundred years ago

Time

It was a morning shoot taken before the sun get too high and comes through the windows

Lighting

It is lit by natural lit and one off camera flash

Equipment

Canon 5d MkIV with 85mm f1.2 L series Lens, hand held

Inspiration

The model came down from #London for the shoot, someone that has been on my list for a long time.

Editing

I always shoot in Raw, it is about 25 layers, the flames, the glass, the smoke all different layers, Brightness, contrast & dodge & burn layer.

In my camera bag

Canon 5D MKIII & MKIV, 24-70mm 2.8, 85mm 1.2, 70-200mm 2.8 & 135mm 2.0, a flash, lens cloths, memory cards. Spare Batteries

Feedback

The main thing is when you set out to create a composite is, the starting image has to be right, so I personally shoot half a stop under and bring it back, thus not blowing the hightlights.
