Shooting this was harder than I imagined. We had to do 4-5 laps and a couple with Anneli who had an easier time doing handstands than Mimi, I prefer the above placement.

Lighting is a Deep silver umbrella (Zelppeliner). It provides fantastic light for dark skin, especially when the skin has a bit of oil. It's set up with a flag that partly blocks the light from the left side so the background gets darker on that side. The right wall is covered in black foam cores to create a well-defined shadow side on both models.

As you can see from the second image, the background is not seamless, so I just faded that out into the floor, using Photoshop's healing brush, and made the floor match a bit better colorwise bu cooling it down a bit. And I also darkened the background on the right side to create more attention toward the center of the image

And here is the BTS movie - and here is a second variant.

The lighting is amazing, how it brings out the beautiful skin tones of the models.

Thanks and yes it does. Silver umbrellas and dark skin is a winning combination.
