Here's August's editorial on
FAUVE Magazine, named after the classic Jimi Hendrik tune
Purple Haze.
This has got to be the hardest shoot I've attempted! That aint photoshop smoke (maybe a little bit) but most of it comes from the real-deal fogging machine and DIY gels. It was shot in a small studio with basic ventilation, so I've pretty much suffocated the team this shoot!
Getting the timing of the smoke and the model was no walk in the park. Hat's off to my hubby Iksan for hands-on working that crazy machine and the model Anna for tolerating the overload of haze every couple of frames! It was a pain but i'm pretty much happy with the results!
maybe I should try dry ice next time :P
Below is an unpublished shot, yet still one of my favourites!
