Circus Lane in Stockbridge Edinburgh is a picturesque location quite popular for photo shoots. Since I wanted to do some light paintings, we met in the evening. This also has the advantage of reduced traffic (not that there is much during the day but it is always annoying to have to move the tripod and\/or light stands).<\/p>\n

I was looking to get a variety of photos, and when I saw the lights on the house (the shoot took place a week before Christmas), I thought they\u2019d make a great background for a portrait.<\/p>\n

\"Close
For such a portrait, it is important to find a good background. The rest works itself out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The next thing on the agenda was the blue garage door I had discovered on a previous shoot. Especially since Moa was wearing a white and blue dress. The contrast in texture and the colour harmony would make for a good photograph, I thought.<\/p>\n

\"Model
The advantage of shooting at night is that I can completely control the light with small speedlights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Model
It was quite windy, so I couldn’t use light modifiers. For this reason, I asked Moa to look into the light as often as possible to avoid nasty shadows on her face.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And finally, I had to do some light paintings. As it was pretty cold and Moa had to stand as still as possible for some period of time, she wore her burgundy sweater. It was easy enough to change the colour of the dress in Photoshop, to get better colour harmony and contrast.<\/p>\n

\"Light
We tried a few different poses. This is my least favourite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Light
I like this set up much better. We tried some variations. With light painting it is not possible to light the scene the same way each time. There are always some differences.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Light
My favourite. Her face is better lit than in the two previous photographs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
