I wanted to create a candlelit portrait that felt very atmospheric. While the photo might appear to be lit with a candle, it was actually lit with a Canon 580 EXii that was gelled to match the candlelight. The smoke was created with Atmosphere Aerosol backlit by a strobe fired through an octabox.
Great shot!
I have tried to get that effect for candle, maybe someday. Nice
Wow, amazing picture! So beautiful and dramatic, but still so simple. She reminds a lot of Sankta Lucia (Swedish version of Saint Lucy). Well done!
