Location
This photo was taken outside an old closed down hospital in Montrose Pa in fall of last year. This was a model session exploring the use of new black wings as well as smoke bombs as props. This beautiful mom was a dream to work with. The detail of old abandoned hospital mixed with the new edge of the props was a great mixture I believe.Time
The image was taken Just about 4pm. I still laugh thinking about the amount of cars that slowed down to stare, most likely wondering what we were doing exactly. Of course the smoke bombs took a few try’s before I knew what I wanted to see with them.Lighting
The lighting was natural lighting. It was Just slightly overcast.Equipment
Nikon d5500 with a 24-70 2.8Inspiration
Found a woman in Russia whom have made these wings. I knew the moment I seen them that I had to have them. Also my model shown here worked with me in the past, she actually had the book and some other items we used that day.Editing
Lightly edited in Lightroom. Just basic color, exposure and slightly defined.In my camera bag
24-70 lens always. Very random little items. Bobby pins clips lipsticks double sided tape. At least five pieces of cloth different texture in case I need to change the look of a shirt or cover something. Lately also a strand of crystals to add some .Feedback
Make sure your subject loves the look because their comfort and confidence shines through. Choose your colors you want to show and with these sleek smooth wings paired it with a grainy background. While giving a small church town a fun show. Just have fun and you will feel what is right for you.
