★ INTENSE ★

peepboon has added a photo to the pool:

Inspired by the Woodkid 'IRON' music video, me and Dave Soden drew up plans on a shoot we could do. I wanted to use an overhead light source for the shoot to give it that dramatic look.

Firstly, huge thanks to Dave Soden and Diosa Taylor!

To make the portrait more visually cool, we used smoke pellets to add an extra dimension to the image. These were only £2 foe two pellets from the joke shop. The problem was that they only lasted 30 seconds each and were very inconsistent. For the smoke out of the mask shot, we bought some cigarettes... problem was that none of us smoke so we were coughing like crazy lol... the things we do for photography! lol.

Another thing we did was use a spray bottle to add mist and water droplets onto the mask and knife. I think it adds a cool element to the image!

The overall outcome was pretty awesome to be honest, much better than I expected! Me, Dave & Diosa worked well as a team, all putting in good suggestions to create the final image.
