ARIEL - Cinematic headshots

I’ve been having some fun with a new setup in the studio – something a li’l more moody and interesting. Ariel did an amazing job zoning in to these effortless looks and getting on board with a more cinematic approach to these portraits.

These were shot using continuous light in the Norwood studio @cogcreativespace using a combination of our 300W Amaran RGB LED and some of our Godox RGB LED stick lights , and also experimenting with gobos using the Westcott optical spot. The background is a feature wall in the Pro Studio and I’ve set up a Gravity Backdrop on a boom to create a corner vibe. We have a few really beautiful textured backgrounds like this to play with at the studio.

Stay tuned for part 2 where we shot some wider shots. I’m super excited to shoot more of these setups soon…
