Beth Incognito
Beth Incognito is one of my regular make-up artists and wanted some shots to document her new hair. It was an impromptu shoot but due to some good costuming choices, well tied in make-up, and the simple fact that Beth’s hair is awesome, we got some good shots.
For the shoot I had 3 flashes (gelled with different colours) pointed towards the camera (2 left 1 right) at differing heights to create some drama in the background. We had a fog machine shooting into the backdrop and I would take the frames when the smoke drifted in front of this set of lights. Front lighting was provided by one seriously overworked 580EXII flash bouncing into a Softlighter 60 (a very big umbrella).
Also in the gallery below are two photos of Beth’s newly decorated Fender. It’s pretty.

This photoshoot was heavily concept driven, with the primary goal to shoot a “poison apple” type theme in studio, and then a evil gnomes/cupcakes theme in a forest setting.
To communicate the poisoning we used some over the top blood in makeup dripping from the eye and mouth.
After we went on location and found a couple of spots we took a few shots in for kicks before spotting a good forest setting.
Most of the shots were taken using a 60 inch umbrella with 3 580EX II’s on a triple brachet as the main light. All other lighting was variable.
