I had about an hour to chose locations and set up lights before the models arrived, and was looking for places where the trees of the forest could provide a backdrop we could sculpt with the lighting. Once the models arrived, we only had 30 minutes per setup, including time for changes in outfits, locations and lighting between each shot.
After 4 static shots we wanted an action shot for the final picture to open the feature. The light had dropped sufficiently by this time we took the models out of the woods and had them running across the park. The shot we got is at the top of the post.
A big thanks to RW art director Russell Fairbrother, my assistant for the day Adam Swords, and models Guillaume and Julia from Snoop.
Excellent work Julian,
ReplyDeleteAny chance of a foolow up p[ost expaining how you set up the lighting?

Hi Dave - the lighting was actually pretty straightforward. An Elinchrom Ranger Quadra through a 90cm softbox as the key light, with speedlites used for rim lights and lighting up the background. It was very dark inside the woods so it was easy to drop the ambient have have the pictures appear to be shot at night.
