This photo was taken in my living room which I redecorated into a studio to practice with creative lighting. The model was laying down and covered with a bit of body glitter to achieve a starry night sky effect on her skin. I used two pavotubes on either side to light up the shot.

In post-production I darkened the photo (I shot a bit overexposed to retain more detail in the shadow areas), added some contrast and I processed the colours a bit to my liking. I also cleaned up a bit of the background and a few spots of unreflective glitter on her skin. All post production was done in Lightroom Classic.

This is awesome. I love the lighting and the semi-sad look on her face. Great mood.
