Mellanie goes industrial (Patreon)

Usually, when shooting in a studio, we try to keep things neat and clean. Put up a backdrop to isolate the subject and keep it tidy.

But what if we don*t want it tidy?

I love to play with weird shadows, hard light, and occasionally like here. Why not include some of the environment around the backdrop?

It's not an original idea, I've seen it somewhere of course. But for some images, I like to mess things up a bit - it gives grit and, in a way, makes a bit of fun of the setup of photographing models.

And if you have met me, you'll know I'm a prankster 😜
