Faking Sunset Ambience on Location | Fashion Shoot ☀️

In this Photo Deconstruction I’m going to take you behind the scenes of a fashion shoot where I create beautiful sunset ambiance, even though it’s a cloudy day!

This image was taken on location as part of my 3 Day Fashion Intensive. We originally intended for some beautiful natural light, but once we arrived on location it turned out to be cloudy!

So what to do??

With a little thinking outside the box (or in this case outside the window lol) and a relatively simple 2 light setup, I was able to fake that gorgeous sunlight we were missing thanks to a large umbrella with diffusion and a bare bulb with a gel outside the window.

An additional tool I used was a Black Pro Mist filter so that it would give off a highlight where the light was shining in from the window, emulating sunlight even more.

Here’s the straight out of camera: 4:52

There wasn’t much to do in terms of post processing, other than boosting the contrast a bit from the light peering into the lens.

I also made some minor retouches just to focus the eye back on the subject.

A simple setup, with beautiful results! ☀️

📢 Let me know what you think in the comments. Have you tried to emulate sunlight before?
