Arias castle (Patreon)

Happy Holidays. 

Today is Christmas Eve in Denmark, and we traditionally will hand out presents, have family dinners, etc. TOday is no exception although Covid prevents bigger gatherings.

Anyway, on that occasion, I wanted to give you a treat, namely this series with Aria Rainbow.

The backstory is I was in Italy shooting and, as always, asked the models if they knew some great locations. 

Aria said she had heard about an abandoned castle in Piemonte, a couple of hours drive away. And who can refuse an opportunity like that?

This series is from one of the most beautiful rooms in the castle - Imagine how grand this was 500 years ago?

In the first and second image I used a flash at low power fired into the wall on my right side to mimick a window - and shot the image with a 16mm as I'm literally pressed up against a wall. 

But I wanted the entire room in the frame.

Merry Christmas if you celebrate that, if not happy holidays of whatever flavor you prefer.

If you are on the Photographer or Vault tier check out the videos of Aria Rainbow in yesterday's post to see more of the castle.
