Did a very creative photoshoot with the help of my two lovely and accommodating friends, Vanessa and Sandra. I was able to experiment with “Rim lighting” and backlighting some water spray and smoke. I even got a good photo of me (thanks to my wife, Elizabeth) so it was a very satisfying photo session.
The goal was threefold: capture dramatic dark-toned portraits, create backlit water-spray shots with the help of Elizabeth and replicate the setup using a compact smoke machine for dynamic atmospheric effects. As a bonus, Sandra brought a Halloween costume which we were able to mix into the shoot.
You can view the photos in the gallery below, just click on them for a larger view.
Below was our lighting setup and some BTS (behind the scenes) images from the “crew.”
Thanks for letting me share,
