Did you bring along the TV? how did you decide to walk down the tracks from the primary shoot location? The composition is very strong, especially using the model to divide the old buildings from the new, setting up a nice sense of urban dystopia.

We planned ahead of time to shoot at three locations (cathedral, train tracks and cemetry). In three hours I took 238 photos. There's a lot I haven't posted but the keeper rate was pretty high for me. We had a good shoot.

As for this idea, it's the first thing I thought of doing when she said she had the dress and wanted to do something a little dark. I also had the spare tv so I brought it with us. At first I was going to smash it around but decided I may want to use it one more time for something else.

All very beautiful shots indeed.

Yeah she is holding it behind the flower. I cloned out a little part of it that was showing near the stem.

The 3 flashes must be pretty far to cast this soft a shadow, for bare lights? I can't believe how soft the lighting is. Beautifully well composed.
