Shine

This shot is part of a trilogy of shots, which I titled shine. Looking at this model's pictures (@van_impe) prior to working with her, I felt as though she had a certain shine to her, which in my opinion hadn't been exploited prior. With this in mind, I dove head first in trying to use natural light (specifically around sunset), and broken glass to achieve a sort of "shine" look that I was envisioning. A lot of the glass effect and shimmer was in camera, but to make it more prominent lens distortions was used to add to this effect. Overall this is my favourite image of the 3 complementary images simply in the way the light is hiding her face. It really exemplifies her features which is always something I look for. Lastly, I want to particularly mention that this shoot was done to give Marie streetwear photos with an editorial-ish feel, which in essence is the reason that a rooftop in downtown Montreal was chosen for the location.
