Mannequin Cemetery Photo Shoot

19 Jul

Some shoots really excite me before, during and after they happen. This was definitely one of them! I mean just look at that location (Mannakin) and the hundreds and hundreds of willing models :)

Aimee and I gelled completely on the day, and also worked so well together when it came to sharing ideas and styling in our pre-comms.

Lighting-wise, I knew it was going to be a real test of my knowledge and patience. It was a 2 hour window slot which was a challenge in itself, but then I was also battling with the bright sun (and a whole load of super-white reflective mannequins, haha!). I started with a basic 1-light setup, then progressed almost immediately to 3-light setups (using various modifiers and colour-gels).
