2.38 - "Needs Work" 

My friend and I had a shoot around the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. I was able to capture the warm orange light glowing in the background. This contrasts the urban textures/colors in the scene.

For the grading I looked at Bill Larkin's photos: he uses muted, punchy colors to compliment the model often with a glow. I tried to emulate that with a dark blue and orange contrast.
