              lighting tutorial beauty shots with sparklers

              Photo Tutorial on Using a Sparkler in a Beauty Shot

              I love it when teams can keep churning out interesting tutorials or behind the scenes videos regularly and still keep the quality high, and one team that continues to do just that is PHLEARN. We’ve featured them a few times in the past, and today they released this new video on shooting beauty, but with sparklers.

              Now before you go out and try this, be aware that the technique shown here has an element of danger, so just be careful. Aaron says he tried this first with himself as a guinea pig, so he felt comfortable putting the model in the same position. Use your judgement fellas.

              You can read more information about the shoot at PHLEARN, and also make sure to check out their Pro Tutorials if you want even more detailed how-to demos.

                Love the image, great choice of color and lighting effect.
                I’d love to try it but the thought of a spark hitting the eye directly… OUCH!

                 you can see in the video that they take pics with her eyes closed. the final image they probably add an open eye from a previous frame.

                Thats fantastic. Love the lighting and the twist of blowing the sparkler. I am filing this away for future use.
