Twilight Revisited: Another Team Effort

I wasn't satisfied with my first Twilight attempt featuring Judy and Burgess, so a few weeks later we tried it again. This time we replicated a different pose. Unlike the first photo, Judy and Burgess were shot at once which made post-processing a lot simpler, but it also presented some challenges. As you can see from the setup shot, it took a team to put this shot together. First, notice the nice rim lighting around Judy's face and Burgess's chin. It was Brian's idea and it looks great! It separates them nicely from the background. So how did we do it? Brian hid behind Burgess and pointed a bare flash at Judy's face. Another problem was Burgess kept falling over onto Judy, so Jason stepped in and held onto Burgess while he leaned forward. Sometimes pressing the shutter release button is just a small part of the imagemaking process! Here are the rest of the photos from that evening.
