I shot this in my small studio. Living in a place where it never snows, I wanted to create a wintery feel. To achieve the snow effect, I used foam board for the falling snow illusion. I used a Godox Speedlight with a standard reflector bowl and a blue gel to create the cool, snowy night ambiance in the background. For fill lighting, I used an LED light with a warm Kelvin setting to mimic the candlelight she is holding.
