Futuristic Urban Fashion

This was my first attempt at photographing models and makeup.  I didn’t know much about the chosen location or how to light it.  My wife and I brought along a couple hot shoe flashes and big reflecting umbrellas.  We decided to coordinate the background with the outfits and makeup colors.  We tried to make the lighting to appear to be bright and futuristic, without blowing out the makeup.

Inspiration immediately caught fire as I was led to this location.  My first experiments in photographic arts were on landscapes such as these throughout the city of  Philadelphia.   All of these images are straight out of the camera.  The saturation, exposure, and sharpness were all done on the fly and left as is.

Thanks, Victoria for a far out fashion shoot!
