Picture of the Day _ Caylee Fairy Shoot


This shoot was a themed shoot for Caylee, we combined two of her favourite things. Them being fairies and bubbles. 

The scene is lit using 2 Bowens lights and 2 Nikon SB-900's. The bowens were lighting Caylee herself and the flash unit were to light the back ground.

The bowens light were fitted with 60cm square softboxes and placed on lighting stand about 3 feet of the ground bringing them nearer to Caylee's height. They were also set to f5.6 to give an even f8 at the center of the set.


The SB-900 were set to 1/16th power each to give us a rough 1/8th power across the background. Both flashes were placed on the floor facing up towards the white background, the left hand unit had a green gel fitted and the right hand unit a red gel.

With a bubble machine on a small stall of to the left hand side, Caylee was dressed in her favourite Tinkerbell outfit and she was then told to run around and pop the bubbles. Emz had the camera set to f8 at ISO 100 and used a shutterspeed ranging from 1/125th - 1/250th.


At some points during the shoot you can see when Caylee had moved towards the back of the set and as she is now getting some green light from the flash on her side and face. Which added a nice effect to the image.


The images also made a nice black and white conversion in post production.
