Description Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and ambient light only

I've had this shot planned in my head for a long time, and I've acquired the antlers just as long ago. I've seen a lot of fashion shoots where the models have "regular" clothes but antlers, I wanted to do a fantasy/fairytale inspired shoot however.

When I found Linn, I knew she was the perfect model for the job and oh I was so right! We are both more than content with the results.

It was raining, varying from a light drizzle to pouring rain, but we were pretty safe under the trees, and the light was amazing, combined with the world around us getting wet and shiny!

First shoot in a project/series that I've planned for so long. More info to come later

Photographer: Rania Maria (me) ([link] )
Model: Linn Mickelsson
Styling: Both of us, combined forces
Post processing: Me, using Photoshop CS5

Excelent!!! :3 , love the composition, light is great, bokeh is very well managed shows that its a forest but doesent distract from the main subject, the antlers are a great addition, they give a very realistic forest creature look, the model is beautiful

Gorgeous! How did you attach the antlers? Were they just on a headband?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

MasaKarasu In reply to mechanicalfantasy [2012-04-13 15:12:00 +0000 UTC]

thanks! I used wire that I put around them, and then I made sort of a headband from the wire, it's very easy to fasten things in dreads, compared to "normal" hair

Speechless I am...perfect expression and composition! I imagine her as a priestess of Cernunnos, the Celtic horned God... the aperture of the shoot renders a new magical insight to it!..I will treasure this one...
keep up the sacred flame!
