The Zelda Project - Behind The Scenes (The Lost Woods Part 2)

For the final photoshoot gallery visit: http://www.thezeldaproject.net/photo-...

The Lost Woods is the first in the series of still photography cosplay photo sets by The Zelda Project. Spanning 4 days, the team drove more than 1425 miles round trip, shot over 1000 photos in Northern California's Coastal Redwoods, and woke up at 4AM every morning in order to catch the fog at sunrise. Once the photos were developed, they went under post processing, adding visual effects as a final touch to realize the concept of an enchanted ancient forest.

The first location we shoot at here was not the original location we initially chose for the shoot. Due to a high volume of tourists at the original location, we had to detour to a different spot on our first day instead.

Hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look of our journey to create the 11 final photos that made the cut. It was hard work, and at times very difficult, but in the end the photoshoot yielded rewards that we have been proud of.
