2.14 - "Needs Work" 

The idea was to create a photo where the textures, colors, and light trails on the face would stand out.

To achieve this, I used an 80x80 softbox as the main light on the left, a little over 45 degrees from the subject, to create some shadow on the right side.

Then, I placed one speedlight with colored gels to create the color gradient and one for a fill light. To create the light trail effect, I used a Cyan LED stick to achieve this effect.

Finally, the makeup artist used makeup with a lot of texture, silver glitter, and stones on the side where the shadow was present. Additionally, I moved the camera from right to left to create the light trails on the face.

Camera Settings:

Sony A6000 @50mm
ISO 160
f/6,7
1s
