Emerald - Behind the Scene

"Emerald" by alexdpx

Of my recent works, the photo above is by far the most popular.  824 views, 22 favorites, 22 comments, and 58th most interesting photo for that day - all flickr statistics.  Without question, this is a hit.  Thanks to all who viewed and gave positive comments.

The make-up, pose and facial expression were all Jelly's (the model) idea.  Those were the main reasons I think why this became a hit.  I just did the lighting and clicked the shutter.  Well, yes, I directed her a bit on how to execute this.  But the  basic concept was hers, so hats off to Jelly.

It's a simple 3 lights setup. See diagram below:

Cheers,
