Weston is an awesome local jewelry designer that I really wanted to work with. Once the opportunity arose I was very excited to hear that he agreed and he made some really great head pieces for my team and I to use in this shoot. The woman who modeled for me actually inspired the shoot. Her name is Lauren and we had worked together in the past, She had recently dyed her hair this beautiful rose color and I wanted to do a beauty shoot with her to focus on her new hair color.
Nicole was her hairstylist and offered to come on board as hair and makeup for our shoot and Weston provided head pieces that he designed. I shot the images at Grafton Studios in Jacksonville Beach.
The lighting was a one light set up, but I wanted to incorporate V-flats to help bounce the light on to the sides of the model as well.
The lighting set up looked like this. You can see part of the 80" octobox. I used the V-flats on either side and the reflector placed beneath the light to help light underneath the jaw line as well. I used this lighting technique to create a soft and even light cast on the model. I didn't want any harsh shadows.
Here are a few more shots from the behind the scenes with Nicole Kaleel on hair and makeup and Argie Mitra Styling the shoot.
Here is the finished product, We got some awesome photos or Lauren, her hair, and Weston's head pieces. We were able to get them published in Institute Magazine over the summer last year!
