They all needed to have a bright, fun look to them regardless of the atmosphere and ambient light.<\/p>\n<p>The first series of images was shot on a hand carved wooden tea bed in front of an enormous window facing a main street.\u00a0 This presented us with a massive backlight that needed to be controlled.\u00a0 We handled it by using two small soft boxes positioned high up into the open ceiling.\u00a0 This gave us the light we needed and prevented them from being seen in the window as reflections and glare.<\/p>\n<p>The second series of images was shot in front of a large display wall.\u00a0 Because it was very close to the massive windows from the first series, there was a lot of lighting pouring in the front of the location.\u00a0 As a result, the ambient light quickly tapered off along the display the farther back we went into Goldfish Tea.\u00a0 To handle this, we used a very large octobox as the main key light to supplement the ambient light and a second, smaller softbox positioned purely to even out the light and &#8220;fill in&#8221; the space behind the models.\u00a0 This gave the impression of an evenly lit location.<\/p>\n<p>For the final series of images, we moved into the back of the location where there was very little ambient light.\u00a0 There was absolutely no natural light to work with and the interior lighting only provided a dark, relaxed atmosphere.\u00a0 This presented us with a challenge because we wanted the images to look just like those shot in front of Goldfish Tea.\u00a0 To get the same effect, we used the same large octobox as the key light; however, this time, we used three small soft boxes strategically placed around the scene to light the background and make it appear as bright as the previous sets of images.<\/p>\n<p>It was a very long day for the Creative Team but the results were well worth it!\u00a0 There is absolutely no way I could have done this shoot by myself, and I am incredibly fortunate to have the backing of such a talented and dedicated team!
