Shooting Alien Abduction

Posted by Michael Franchi on 28 Sep 2011 / Comments

I CAN’T remember how or why, but it started one day when an idea popped into my head of a girl suspended mid-air in the bush being abducted by aliens.

After finding the right jungle scrub at the Holmes Jungle Park, the rest was history. On the day, I shot with two strobes powered by a Vagabond Mini and one speedlite. The key light for all shots was a strobe and beauty dish, except for the shot with Emily walking into the light. The other two lights were used as fill and accent lights as needed.

Thanks to Jessica Connors (BTS and stylist), Elise Derwin (assistant), and Emily Bix (model) for making this happen.
