Graffiti

28th Feb

It's been a hectic week. MotoGP on Friday, visiting the temple on Saturday and a portrait session early Sunday morning. By 9am, we arrived at our shoot location which is an abandoned building near Maluri. What's interesting about this place is some of the walls were covered with amazing graffiti..





It would be a terrible waste not to incorporate these artwork into my shoot. And it helps that the models were wearing casual street clothes instead of gowns or dresses.

I metered the background while using wireless flash to illuminate the models.. The results are some very contrasty shots with both the graffiti and the model fighting for attention..







The building also had some interesting spots. This stairwell had some red bricks that helps to add character to the scene..


The same stairwell, this time underexposing with just using the flash to light up the subject..


Another fav. of mine.... Applied a green cast using PS4 and adjusted the levels. This helped to bring out the pattern on the wall and producing a slightly "moody" feel..
