This and all the images below were all lit with a large gridded Octa box to the left hand side of the model. The white wall to the right hand side reflects the light back in to model.

The close placement of the light to the model gives a nice soft light and shadows in the images and as she chances pose continues to wrap around her.

Facing away from the light also works as the wall bouces the light back towards the face.

Shifting the camara angle gives a different look to the image but the lighting has not changed.

I have worked with Carla Monoco a number of times in the past. You can see some more output from these shoots from these links. Walters wardrobe, Leather jacket and Bandana. Above are a few images from a fashion set featuring a leather jacket.

  • Aerialist: Em Theresa
  • Lighting: 3 x Studio flash fitted with soft boxes
  • Location: Natural Light Spaces
  • Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Lens: 24-70mm.
  • 1/100sec @ f /11.00. ISO100

To collaborate with Aerialists in order to capture their skills is a real challenge. Em Theresa the Aerialist featured in these images makes these poses look effortless and easy, but they are not.

It requires core strenght and concentration to hold these poses while hanging from the suspended silks several metres from the ground.

The biggest challenge for the photographer is to know when to capture the image, to show the artisty and skill that the aerialist is displaying as she holds the pose.
