What an excellent use of an average priced camera and a few flashes. Very inspiring for the masses of amateurs out there with late model/entry level equipment.

I have to agree with all the other guys, great shoot, not an expensive lighting set-up and a prosumer camera with a………….kit lens! With a great vision/concept comes great images. Hats off to the guy.

good photoshop work too.

Excellent video and concept. Si foarte frumoase modele!!!

Captivating post processing too, wish we could’ve seen more of the photos at different stages but the final results look compelling.

“There is virtually zero detail in the dress at “play with tones” and then at “add some red spots” we see all loads of texture in the dress.”

@Robert: I didn`t thought that was an issue becouse I have exported the image from the raw file again, with different exposure settings, put it on another layer and masked the details from the dress. It wasn`t a big deal. But you are right, I could have include that too in the video.

I call foul on using hot Romanian models to hypnotize the predominantly-male audience in your favor.

Haha, but really, GREAT final images! The photo-manipulation with the lava is fantastic!

What I like about this BTS particularly is that it continues to demonstrate that it’s the skill of the photographer, not the price of the equipment that makes a great photo. Sure there are features of professional level cameras that blow consumer ones away, but without the expertise person behind the camera they’re useless.
