Shout-out to SisterUnmuted for editing this together so I didn't have to upload just pick a 7 second video of me basically standing still having my photo taken 😂❤️

As I mentioned, this was the last look of the day - that also means it was peak pain levels for the shoot day 😅😬 and I had to look directly toward a very bright white light for most of this look 🫠 The best part: I will probably not end up using most (if any) of the shots where I had to look at that light 😂 We changed it up later on and I liked those ones better...but I'm glad we tried this!

This look was almost exclusively for shots where we were playing with light, as inspired by my Pinterest board – speaking of, are you interested in seeing the Pinterest mood board that inspired the photoshoot? 👀 I won't share it before the album art is revealed, but I will absolutely share it afterward if you're interested!

Anyway...we started with a cropped vertical light, but decided it looked too "accidental" 😂 So we switched to an angled horizontal light! Because we want it to look intentionally cool, obviously 💁‍♀️ we did this on purpose, guys!

The hardest part of using light in this way was that the photographer often needed me to move such small fractions of steps in different directions 😂 Millissa would ask me to take a half a step and then immediately after be like "less" 😅 So eventually I started to just slightly shuffle anytime she asked me to move, and I would just shuffle until she told me to stop 🙈

I'm really hoping Millissa is able to get me the shot from this part of the shoot that I want for the ticket link later today 👀 And then you'll get to see how we made this look even cooler 😎 Trust me.

Ohhhh gobos for light play. ✨I like a a good light slash for the eyes 😍 Also, I see what you were going for with the vertical slash (illustrating the duality of your villain era? ^_~) But yeah hard light requires lots of precision, so I totally relate to the level of fine tuning get the shadows right. It’s a game of millimeters. 😅 Did Melissa ever say the phrase, “split the difference? We say that all the time on set! That and a fun way to direct adjustments is to say “woof” instead of “stop” (e.g. pan left, left, left, WOOF! 🤣) The BTS looks great, can’t wait to see the finished photos! ^^ Ps. Yes please share your mood board when you can!!! 👀
