Bubbles

Know

Bubbles are very simplified versions of some of the basic laws of the universe…

Bubbles are weird things. They’re not fragile. They’re infinitely flexible. They’re not what we think they are.Bubbles are round for the same reason that planets are spherical. The universe itself is like bubbles.

The bubbly lines above could serve as the aesthetic basis for this creative portrait-photography project. Fully executed at our Galacpic Studio in southwest Montreal, the series comprises a number of exposures where color, fashion, make-up, lighting and design are played out.

For the technically curious, the full lighting setup consisted of 4 speedlights mounted on a beauty dish for the key light, a strip box rim light, a BG light plus one extra umbrella to fill from close to floor level. The camera body used was a Fujifilm X-T3, and the Fujinon 56mm F1.1 was the lens of choice for most of the pictures. The whole shoot was done tethered to Capture 1, which greatly helps simplify the capture and review process.
