Initially, I had asked Sarah if she was interested in a trapeze shoot. But since she didn’t know how to rig the trapeze at Dance Base studio 3, she asked her friend Rosella of Dair Entertainment to help. We ended up doing two shoots in one. The advantage of having two circus artists is that one of them can get a rest while I shoot the other, so it is very efficient.
I used the same lighting set ups with Sarah I used with Rosella. First, two speedlights at the back and in the frame, and one front light to camera right or camera left depending on the pose. I used the black background in order to hide the light stands holding the flashes.
Then shooting against the light background I moved the two backlights out of the frame.
After a change of outfit, we took a few more photos.
