The Magic Hour – Simulating last Rays of Sun
This image was also created during a beautiful photo session in South France. Created with a bit more advanced lighting setup Melissa just looks yummy!
The aim was to simulate the last rays of the sun with setting up a golden reflector for implied lighting. Candles already lighten up the room before nightfall.
My Shooting Setup
- Obviously the main light gives the warmth to the scene and keeps in the gold and blue tones of the bed.
- The second light is placed as far as possible from the bed, to get a circle of light big enough to reach the model, but not as big as to light up all the scene.
- The low power from the fill-in helps just to wash out heavy shadows given from the main light.
