Heureusement, il est possible de créer ce qu’on appelle des thésaurus, c’est à dire ni plus ni moins qu’une liste de mot-clés qui peut être importer dans Lightroom.

Something always goes wrong I´ve already get used to the fact that during every photoshoot something goes wrong and you have to use your improvization skills to save the situation.

This photoshoot was full of little glimpses. It started already at the station. Luckily we found each other after few confused phone calls and headed to the studio to wait on MUA. First backdrop was too short, it didn´t even reach the floor. I wanted to create "movie poster look" I had planned to shoot with soft box as main light source. Right now I´m very grateful that the soft box was broken. And here is the light diagram.
