I resumed my photoshoot with makeup artist Nouf Al-Essa and model Klaudia Ashkanani. This time, I opted for a bold approach, using continuous lights without any diffusion, which infused the scene with an enchanting vibe reminiscent of Classic Hollywood glamour. I meticulously set the key light to a warm 3200 Kelvin, casting a golden glow that beautifully illuminated Klaudia's features, while the background light shimmered at a cool 5600 Kelvin, creating a striking contrast.
Non-diffused direct light can reveal imperfections like pores and blemishes, which are undesirable in beauty photography. However, I concealed some by dodging and burning in Adobe Photoshop to give the images a flawless touch.
