Description e·qui·poise
1. Equality in distribution, as of weight, relationship, or emotional forces; equilibrium.
2. A counterpoise; a counterbalance.
3. Symmetry.

Pretty much the same lighting set up in both. A softbox on one side, gold reflector on other. Two flashes behind the head, one pointing at background, one towards the camera. Yup.

Models: Päivi and Miikka

It's just metallic makeup. Bronze on the girl, gold on the boy.

I just love how all your pictures are so vivid!! It's incredible..do you use an programs to alter it or is it all in the lighting?

mnoo In reply to vintageangel [2005-02-04 17:20:00 +0000 UTC]

With these I did very little. I was suprised how vivid the colours came out and especially how brilliantly the metallic makeup reacts to light. I stepped the exposure down a tiny bit in RAW and blurred the backgrounds a bit in PS. That's about it.

Guess that's what eye candy is about

The concept is very nice, I love it.

Have you tried to take two different shhots, anf have a half face of each mixed into one? This could be interesting to see...

I like a lot all the shots from that serie anyway

No didn't try that... also, I shoot the boy on monday and the girl today so then I couldn't sort of go back and change the pictures I already had if you see what I mean.

mnoo In reply to Zlatty [2005-02-04 17:07:44 +0000 UTC]

I dunno. From my head? Well I'm probably influenced by a lot of people to be honest. Hopefully my pictures are somewhat original though.
Thank you.

Well I have seen similar works... but you have a style that captures them in a new light. So bravo to you.
