ImpossibleFX - photography | filmmaking

February 19, 2008

Belen was being silly in-between takes so I snapped this one for fun. I was using a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens inside a controlled studio situation which contained a large softbox on the right, an umbrella for fill on the left and a hair light aimed right at the back of her head which made her dyed-blond hair explode with apocalyptic proportions. The rest of the shoot was, of course, professional and serious but I like to show off this photo because it shows the personality of the model. She also has a nice singing voice. In the final images that made it to print, her wild static-electricky hairs were removed.
