"The shot is done in Paris at Palais de Tokyo on the march 21st 2014. Opalenscence, french fire artist told me that a mexican friend Luis Gomez Islas of her was in Paris and asked me for an epic souvenir picture. For that I have asked her to build a special torch filled with pyro powder that creates amazing flammes. Palais de Tokyo is the fire artist place in Paris with some beautiful sculptures. I have imagined the composition including them and started the picture.
I used 2 speedlights with a wireless remote, 1 umbrella (left) and an octobox (right).
Setup: Canon 5D (the first one) + 85mm F1.8
The final image is a composite of 2 differents exposition to get details in the flamme, the models and the sculptures."- Frederic Amadu
EXIF:
1/1000 F5.6 ISO 400 for the flammes
and 1/100 F8 ISO 800
