Diana

Tougher Than a Lion

 

Army themed (inspiration from Rihanna's music video) shoot with Henri. Sunny October day, just perfect weather for shooting in gravel pit. After sun was setting, day continued inside the studio. More photos and BTS shots after the jump.

Marigona

Test shoot of Marigona

Saara with furry hat

Test shoot for amazing Saara. Three different styles this time. Many of the photos from the studio session were done by using Umbrella XL as the main light. Soft but contrasty light, one of my favorite light modifiers currently. Some of the lighting setups can be seen from the behind the scenes video at the end of post.

Testing parabolic umbrellas

Tested the light distribution from 5 different parabolic umbrellas with Jamo & Janne.
