So, there was Michelle’s pink outfit for the next shot, on the studio desk, next to the monitors. Hmmm, pink? I have pink styrofoam beads in the locker, no?
But how to contain them? I thought, “naw, it’s not possible”, but the McGuyver in me would not listen.
So, while Brad and Michelle were getting her makeup ready, I gathered foamboard from the studio, what was left of my roll of gaffer’s tape, and began building sides onto the glass coffee table, without telling anyone my plan. Which was easy by the way, because I didn’t really have a plan. I then placed two strobes under the table, and got another one ready to hang from above.
After I photographed Michelle next to the window, and with 10 minutes left in the session, I said, “ok Michelle, can you gently lay on the table”. Oh, penny for your thoughts at that exact moment Michelle.
With no time to spare, Brad and I poured the bags of pink beads around Michelle. Then Brad held the umbrella, strobe attached, over her (I didn’t have time to setup a boom), I climbed a ladder, and snapped some images.
