Viral

This was part of a series the model and I planned together. We did a before look with the balls bright and colorful with more minimal makeup, and then an after look where the "virus" had taken over and turned everything dark with the makeup becoming much more extreme/grotesque. This was taken in my small home studio using two alien bees b400 strobes and my Nikon SB600 flash off camera. The main light was camera right and was a strobe through a large soft box. Editing was done to create additional drama and darken down the scene. Check out my post on instagram @trevorbeaty photo to see the before image as well as outtakes from both looks.
