U.S.A. - Lindsay Adler - RF Lens World - Canon South & Southeast Asia

I created this image on my first shoot with the RF 100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM. While this is not 'typically' a fashion lens, I wanted to see how I could combine the beautiful 300mm compression with the wide aperture. I took my beautiful model Paula to a park across from Manhattan, where I could place the cityscape out of focus behind her. This is one of many dramatic shots we captured that day!

Purposeful colour harmonies lead to more successful images. In this scene I wanted a nearly monochromatic colour scheme with golden hair (wig), golden dress, golden makeup and golden light. All of the elements had that beautiful and rich golden hue, except for the hay surrounding my subject. I used colour grading to shift the greens of the hay to more yellow/red. By using a narrow depth of field, I helped to simplify my background while still communicating a sense of depth.

I am always attracted to images that are bold, graphic and colourful. Here I collaborated with my friend and model Bryona Ashly to create this bold image during one of my intensive workshops. The concept began with those amazing heels, then she sourced the gloves, I decorated the box using wallpaper, and used a specialty gobo on the background. Collaboration is essential in my work, and pre-planning helps bring all of the elements together.
