Hair art show in Philadelphia

Recently I shot in collaboration with my hair stylist and good friend Bethany for her hair show, I love to do my personal shoots, love the creative freedom i have and the opportunity to visualize and create gives me immense pleasure and breaks the mundane routine. Without much ado I am sharing the images with you. I will tell you how to shoot an image with plexi glass All the pictures were shot in Philadelphia studio of the philadelphia photographer Vikrant Tunious.

I shot this image with three lights, front light was a octadome, top light was a strip box and back light with color gel

Fashion Editorial Shoot

 I just shot something which is very close to heart, every now and then I love to collaborate with fellow artist, I had worked with Tokyo in the past on a commercial shoot where he was the hair stylist . We had a great time at that shoot so he called me a few days later that with an idea about a editorial submission. I called him over to my studio and then heard his idea which interested me a lot. We created the mood board for the shoot, I came up with the story concept for the shoot, Tokyo started gathering the team and we had makeup, stylist, models. we did 3 looks all outdoors, First image was shot in the Piazza, second shot was shot on the freshly burned building on Market st and the third look was shot on Spring garden st.  Equipment wise I used my Elinchrome mono light and Octabank and reflector. nothing crazy.. I also used the Photogenic Lithium inverter. I will share the final retouched images later on but for now here are some iPhone Bts shots and some other pictures from the shoot.
