Nika

I shoot Nika in a small VW Polo.
Since the car is not the most beautiful i had to add some dramativ lightning.
Hope you enjoy it

Love it! Love the blue coloring

Kind of "Blade Runner" ambient! Like it!

This image is soo damn powerful! Fantastic use of gelled lighting.

Actually it is not gelled ;)
hence the skin-tone is not orange...its just the use of "proper" white balance
and some retouching

Well damn, I like it even more now!!

This is such a mesmerizing photo! Love the color palette involved and the dramatic contrast created by the lighting. The model is gorgeous.
