Dark Charlotte









 What brought on the creation of Dark Charlotte?

I knew right away that I really wanted to do an entire scene of webs and have my model intertwined within the webbing.  

Here are some behind the scene looks at the webbing.

That webbing was a challenge. Most of all because of how unprepared I was for creating the depth of field I wanted to achieve with it.

I had to create multiple levels of webbing from the back to the front and leave room in the middle for the models.  As you can see from the images above I was attaching webbing with anything I could prop up to pull it apart. My lighting, the backdrop support, even on the floor I had it pulled apart and weighted down with stacks of books.  Thank goodness this shoot was for fun.

To make matters worse when we started shooting I was down to one flash. So I bounced the flash off the wall and just hoped for the best!

Did I mention it was 3 am by this point!

We did get some great shots. I would have been far happier if I would have had a hair light but all in all I love the images.

Here is an image we shot Straight out of camera and then edited. I love the look we have achieved and really look forward to spending some more time editing this session.

I created a Full Length Video Tutorial that you can get here.
