When Light Falls Photography
"Well, first it's always a great shoot with Lunariea, we've worked on several projects together and it always turns out pretty great (she models and does H&MU, and this case she did both so big shout out to her! )
When deciding on edits, there are several things that just have to be there; the basics – good, strong composition, lighting that works for the subject and conveys the mood of the shot, a point of interest / the story (and past the edit to finished images, for me at least, retouching is also important)
For this particular session, it's all about juxtaposition - the mix of glam and grunge… and I love how it turned out. The chic elements like the hat, glasses, body-suit and boots against the scruffy (faux) fur - you know, not the type of thing you'd wear on a Monday…. but might get away with on a Thursday. Layer that on a strong pose, set it against a grungy dustsheet backdrop, apply a subdued color grading and you’ve got the recipe for a cool image."
