Nika

January 20, 2015

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

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

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