Day 2 - Princess Spot-a-Lot

After yesterdays first attempt at an image on a black background, today's task was to create something on white just like the Venture brand... For those of you who dont know what or who Venture is, they are a photographic studio in the UK that captures and sells high key contempary images, as they call it "Art".

They hook people by having reps in shopping centres try and sell the brand as people are going about their business, ask a few questions,  get their contact details and then a week later they receive an email / call that they have won a free studio session...

Once that potential client has completed the free studio session, they pull out the hard sell with you parting with large somes of money for the final product (printed and framed) usually around £400.

Dont get me wrong they are very good at what they do, having a brilliant team of Photoshop guru's behind the scenes, BUT they are very expensive. Please dont think i'm having a dig, just merely highlighting that anyone with some creative sense, Photoshop knowledge and the right equipment can create the same image for a fraction of the price... at least so i think!

And that brings us to today's image of Zoe, also known as Spot-a-Lot...

This image was captured using two speedlights, a white bed sheet and SLR camera. I must admit that i had to do a little more than usual editing in Lightroom and Photoshop to get to the end result, but this was to create a Venture like image.
