She made the crown the morning of the shoot out of wire.
The image started out as a 63 image pano that was 27000px wide. Needless to say, my computer struggled to save the 16bit image even over thunderbolt to RAID. I had to scale it down so I wasn't taking 15 min to save the psb file every time. Yes .psb, as .psd files only are capable of saving up to 2GB; this file was nearing 5GB.

Outstanding image, I love the color and feel of this one.

Two questions though:

Since this is a "conceptual" photo, you don't consider your gf a princess? That's strike one... :)

All joking aside, why 63 image pano? I no very little about people photography so excuse my ignorance but 63 images seems excessive. What do you gain from that size image?

Thank you!!!

I do know something about people photography and I'd like to know what you would gain from doing this as well.

Fantastic image, love the setting she is in and the color of her dress and the smoke are perfect. Were you using the Brenizer Method by stitching so many images together?

Haha She thinks she's a princess. ;) just joking, she's pretty amazing. Initially I thought I wanted a wider shot, but I wasn't so fond of the composition. I cropped in about 2/3 of what it was initially. It was pretty handy that it was so many images because I had plenty of resolution to do so and retain amazing quality. I really just wanted the DOF gained from using the Brenizer Method.

Thank you! Yes this is the same method Ryan uses.

Awesome image. How did you stitch the smoke together?

I like the colors, but I find the bright sky in the upper left distracting, and not in keeping with your title; it makes it not so much a world enveloped in darkness as just a grey afternoon. If I scroll down the page until the top of the picture disappears, I immediately prefer the look because she could be standing in a whole tree rather than a stump. Then cover the left side of the image to lose the other stump and the remaining sky, and then the focus is definitely on her. A vignette to darken the background would help, and maybe add a light in the lantern with some dodge and burn so it looks like it is the source of the light in the image.

Very well done! The purple smoke is the perfect effect!

It just doesn't appeal to me! I don't see anything of interest in the image.

Not my type of thing either I'm afraid.... but we are all different, that's what makes this site so interesting.

if you are going to give CC you should say what it is you do not like about the picture and offer what you feel would make it better, or politely say it isn't your style. Do not just troll and say "it's terrible" because not only is it a subjective opinion the wording you chose is quite rude. I for one like the picture, good job. Where was this taken? Is this a composite?

Everyone has their own taste in what they like, but just because you don't like his image doesn't make it a terrible image.
