This year’s Pantone Color of the Year is Viva Magenta, and I’m in love with it! This gorgeous color is magenta but shifted a bit more toward red. It is energetic, creative, bold, and perfect to get my creativity flowing.
For this beauty shoot, I asked my friend to make me an avant-garde headpiece, and she came up with something fun, alienesque, and right on brand for me/Pantone’s color.
I wanted something dramatic and rich, so I put together this setup.
Step 1:
I selected the Savage Universal Primary Red seamless background to reinforce the color palette.
Step 2:
The main light in the scene is the Westcott Optical Spot to create a tight pocket/slice of light on the subject’s face.
Step 3:
Next, I added a strobe with a red gel to fill in the shadows on the face with a red wash of color. This could be a bare strobe (no modifier) or a 10-degree if this light cast unwanted shadows upon the background.
Step 4:
The final light was placed on a floor stand directly behind the subject and pointed at the ground. They created a subtle gradient of light behind the subject for more depth/dimension.
Step 5:
For more creativity, I added a Tiffen 4 Point Star Filter to add starburst reflections on the gemstones of the headpiece.
Step 6:
Lastly, I went into CaptureOne to shift the colors more accurately toward the color of the year. I had chosen to shoot the image red (it was easier to find this color) and then shift those reds a bit more magenta to dial in the right hues!
These shots were captured with one of my favorite beauty lenses- the Canon R5 paired with the Canon RF 70-200mm lens.
Coming up I have an entire Pantone-themed episode of my monthly membership platform, so stay tuned to check that out at lindsayadler.photo/learnplus
