Princess Leia - Updated with more images

[Manfred M]

I was at a fun Star Wars - Princess Leia themed shoot last night at a local quarry. We shot from just before golden hour until we got into blue hour and the lighting dropped too low.

1. A large drilling machine looks like it works well as a Star Wars set piece.





2. Throw some rock dust into the air when the sun is behind the model and one can get an interesting effect.





3. Some nice, long and soft shadows could be found as the sun was getting very low.





4. Darth Vader - was actually played by the model's mother. Extensive Photoshop work required, especially for the toy light sabre she was holding...

Nicely done, good background elements to complement the theme.

Nice theme. The determined expression is cool and well-captured.

The obligatory anachronism on the gal's belt is at the other end of time from those Roman soldier's wristwatches . .

The other anachronism is that the Leia outfit is a converted bed sheet. I'm just as happy that the model used a plain white sheet. A floral print probably would not have had the same impact...

Nicely done for both of you... Photographer and model...

I just added a few more images from the shoot.

My compliments....I like all of these images. They are all well processed. I particularly like the skin tones.

Nice effects in the additional images.
