If you follow my work you know that my favorite color by far is red! It's bold, commading, passionate... you name it!
That's why I was super excited to hear that Pantone's Color of the Year for 2023 was Viva Magenta! While it's not exactly a perfect "red" if you look at the color (https://www.pantone.com/articles/colo...) you can see that it's mostly a red with just a shift of magenta in it.
Each year I set out to create shoots based on that color, so this shoot was loosely based on that.
For this shoot I wanted to craft an image with depth, drama, and emotion using red in a unique way. To avoid a flat look, I created a corner set using a Gravity Backdrops background where the subject appears to be nestled in the seam, adding a dynamic feel to the shot.
💡 Lighting
My main was a Westcott Optical spot for precise control over lighting on the subject's face and torso, while a large umbrella with diffusion filled in the shadows. My go-to camera lens combo, the Canon R5 with a 24-105mm lens, provided the flexibility to capture various shots without changing lenses.
