Witches

It was a few years ago in a school hall after hours that I created my fist image set witches around a caldron.  The three ladies involved with brilliant came with makeup clothing etc.  My aim was to create a caldron add light and smoke and just have fun creating the image.  The results were so great even if I say so myself. I used an upside down recycling bit for the caldron installed a light and smoke generator in the bottom.  Finally added green the red voile over the top and the up light just worked so well.   A separate lighting snoot was use to light the face of the witch on the left as her book hid part of the up light. 

This image was created for the Historic and Mythical imagery group but I knew that this set up would eventually be revisited as an event involving photographers.

So the first time in the castle keep was 2023 still using the upside down recycling bin and flash lighten was great but we are always learning and this year in October we set up in Newcastle castle for two separate events.  Two old witches, sorry (lovely young ladies from the first shoot) and a few more all credited in the attached youtube video we did it again.  

This time an old barrel ring held by two stands the covered with black material to form the caldron.  Voile pulled tight over the top then loosely layer over the top to simulate liquid.  The lighting now continuous to assist with multiple photographers and again the smoke generator.  

Following this initial session the set up was a removed to allow capture of the witches standing and sitting.  I feel the results were wonderful and everyone involved seemed to agree.  

I you are a photographer who is interested in this creative style of photography why not message me to become part of the event group.
