Katie ~ Magical Winter Wish

Katie ~ Magical Winter Wish

this is part 1 of my 4 seasons series..

spring, summer and fall will be coming soon..

i haven't thought up of them yet.. LOL

this series is inspired by a great russian photographer Oleg Igorin... he is the man ! and i say he has gained my attention as an industry standard.

this shot was done in a parking garage with 3 speed lights.. and a single alien bee strobe AB1600..

i had the glitter cross lighted by 2 speedlights gelled with blue and green.. the green wasn't showing up too well..

anyways.. it is a project i have been thinking of doing for awhile and hadn't had a chance.. but last night presented it self..

1 speed light in the rear and a shoot thru for the wall and partial side lighting

2 speed lights for the cross lighting..

1 AB 1600 for the key light 64PLM was used.

all speed lights were full power

the AB1600 was just below 1/4 power being it was really close to Katie

lots of glitter was use.. LOL.. really fun shot..

very cool! pun intended

Great work as always, and the behind the scenes shots are always educational. Thanks

That's great! Thanks for the set up shots and explaining how you did it.

I love it, thanks for sharing!

Very Nice!!

You made a great photo, Phamster!!!!! It works. Given this is PotN, it's very helpful to see how you did it, and to see the contrast between the setup photos of Katie and the final one of her. She was completely there in the final photo. Great job!

I think you've inspired a whole lot folks out here (once again). Well done!

I have said it before and I will say it again.......you have great imagination and abilities in your photography......I am a big fan of your work!

Excellent! Your parking garage shoots look better than most studio shoots

Looking forward to see what you do when the weather breaks..

Awesome! Nice capture.

superb capture! really glad to see you grow, my friend! Igorin is a great artist to get inspiration from. I personally consider him one of the best in the biz.
Love everything about this!

Like always.... Wow! Thanks for the behind the scenes shots and great explaination.

SO AWESOME! Love it, can't wait for the rest of the series!

Very very good indeed, perfect balance of cool light technique.
