Personal Information:
Name: Michelle Moore
Explanation: This was an image we worked on as a submission for a magazine. Unfortunately it didn’t get picked up, but it is still one of my favorite shoots! Our team came together harmoniously to create this ethereal image. Rosie the stylist created our background with Christmas lights, and Jenny the MUA hand-crafted the crowns to go with the hair done by Meghann. I love the soft magical lighting, and bright dowey expression of the model. Everything came together even better than we envisioned!
Melissa Rodwell’s Critique: First of all, Michelle’s choice of model and how to shoot her was really spot on! I love the background effects with the Christmas lights and the chandelier, I like how the gold in the chandelier picks up the gold on the glitter boy shorts and the crown. It all ties together forming a nice circle that forces the eye to move around the image. Great make up job as well! Kudos to Michelle and her team for a beautiful photograph!
This IS a great shot! Michelle I love the aperture. Quick question: It looks like you used a softbox & shoot-thru umbrella on the right. Is this your setup?
thx!
@Errol, thank you! I used two softboxes, and was only using the modeling light so as to not blow out the Christmas lights, and to be able to shoot wide open to allow the Christmas lights to create a soft Bokeh.
i’ve never had the urge comment but i had to in your case. i love this shot.
more importantly, i loved your viewbook. and more specifically, of one shot in the fashion 2 category. haha. i am a fan.
Thanks Joseph!! I really enjoy using Viewbook too! So simple, and very effective
