I had an absolute blast with this shoot. Of course, punk music was played in the background. I wanted to experiment with gels and see how far I could push their potential with the lighting of the shoot. I started by using just a blue gel. The cool thing about gels is that they block out all white light, so only the color you choose shows up. It makes the photos naturally monochromatic without editing.
Then, I added a red light. I wanted to see if I could highlight his face with a snoot, which helps focus the light precisely where I wanted it.
Then, I added multiple lights for a cool effect. At this point, my model danced so hard that he injured himself.
Using the snoot again, I spotlight his face without a gel for a dynamic highlighted contrast.
