Step into the Netherworld with me (if you dare!) for a Halloween themed fashion shoot that's straight out of the 'Handbook for the Recently Deceased.' This Lydia Deetz-inspired session from the original Beetlejuice movie is all about that dark, moody vibe. I conjured up a look with five strobes, featuring the Profoto Pro D3 with a Westcott Optical Spot, green gels, and a beauty dish to create a strange and unusual (I myself am strange and unusual....) atmosphere filled with saturated colors and dramatic lighting. It's showtime! 😝

💡Lighting

Profoto Pro D3 strobe with Westcott optical spot (150mm lens) as the main light
Second strobe with optical spot (50mm lens), window gobo, and blue gel for background texture
Large umbrella with diffusion and green gel for background and rim light on the left
1x4 foot strip softbox with grid and green gel for rim and hair light on the right
Beauty dish with grid on low power to illuminate the dress

🖌 Post Processing

Color grading to incorporate blues and greens from the Beetlejuice scene
Retouching to enhance the saturated red dress and pale out the skin
Adding contrast and clarity to the image
Adjusting white balance and tint to cool down the image
Applying color balance to shadows, midtones, and highlights
Targeting individual colors in the color editor to shift red towards magenta and darken it
Adding cyan to skin tones for a moonlight effect
