During my shoot with Cassandra Bell, I primarily used continuous lighting from the strobe, except for two images where I incorporated strobe flash. In post-processing, an interesting phenomenon occurred: while correcting the white balance, the images naturally took on a beautiful teal and orange cinematic look, which was a pleasant surprise.
