Eirenne in Darkness
🕑 Added 2019-10-19 16:41:33 +0000 UTCThis set of 25 hi-res images is now in the massive Archive folder available to $25 Patrons - consider subscribing at that level for access to literally thousands of images and videos.
I don't know a thing about proper studio lighting (I am mostly an outdoor shooter using natural light). I don't own proper strobes or anything of the sort. I do have several $7 studio clamp lamps from Home Depot though, and some colored light bulbs also from Home Depot, and some sheets of colored gel papers for photo lights. These, paired with my collection of fabric pieces built up over the years for underwater shoots, come together in my bedroom sometimes (when I get up the energy to throw it all together) to make this crazy set. It might be kind of cheesy, or so cheesy that its kind of cool - i am never sure which. What I do know is whenever I have invited models over to sit in it, they want to keep shooting selfies of themselves in the candy colored lighting. That seems like a seal of approval in itself, so I keep putting it up a couple times a year to play.
Eirenne's skin looked AMAZING in the colored lighting, glowing intensely in all the colors of the rainbow. I WISH I had noted everything i did with the lighting for that shoot so i could recreate it. I never seem to match the same effect! We had a lot of fun and produced SO many pretty images. It was amazing to see how the colored lighting paired with her crazy curves to sculpt these beautiful forms...
I realize a lot of the images are kind of similar though - I wonder if my patrons care to have a lot of images from a shoot, even if they are not super varied? People don't often comment here on my posts, but i wish i could hear from people about this. I don't know if its cool to have a LOT of images, or if folks would prefer just a small batch of only the best images and then move on to another shoot?
