02 Aztec

Roger Charles, UK

This was a spur-of-the-moment image. My model had bought this necklace with her and I thought it was cool. I suggested to my makeup artist that we should do this style of makeup. We wrapped the model’s hair around one of my dog’s tennis balls! I used a three-light setup, with Bowens Gemini 500Rs fitted with strip light softboxes at each side and my Mola Demi 22-inch beauty dish on another Gemini 500R as my main light. I also placed a reflector under the model.
