Director Of Photography: Modern Soul

This commercial, along with Elegance of 18k Gold (listed above), I used little to no fill light allowing the backlight to do most of the sculpting of the model’s face and body, creating a dramatic image. Both were shot with digital betacam and filtered with a Tiffen Soft FX2. Unlike Elegance, Modern Soul used a _ Coral to add richness to the colors (ie. white model’s red hair, black model’s skin, and clothing).
Along with the lighting, I enjoyed the forced perspective created by camera placement and dolly movement.
