Overview:

The "Red Halo Collection" was a quick collection of images I made with my MAT group's two students: Svitlana and Anastasia.

Basically, we were given the opportunity to shoot a few photos in our campuses TV studio and practice taking pictures under different studio situations: Daylight and artificial colored light with a flash. And this? Done with the latter.

On top of just utilizing the colored backlight, we had the creative idea to utilize a color filter, commonly used on white flashes and lights, but in this case, we used it to achieve a cool effect, something that looks like a bit plasticky and gives a little bit of that visual glare.

All that was done afterwards was just color correction in Camera Raw.

What I learned:

• Collaboration with students to achieve a creative solution and result, of which took us three by surprise.

• Seeing and realizing how your body speaks when you start trying out new poses.

• Trusting the people in the shoot and allowing yourself to be free to get the most authentic photos.

• Color correction using Camera Raw

• Photographic eye in shoots.

• Creative & Outside-the-box thinking.
