In this unusual and evocative image Karl tries a new technique of mixing laser lighting with flash. In this tutorial he guides you on achieving the perfect exposure for each light source and top tips for nailing the shot.

To achieve eye-catching and creative images many might think it’s important to have the best lighting equipment available, grand sets or teams of assistants and stylists, but that isn’t always the case. In this photography shoot Karl makes use of an unusual combination of light sources, only one of which is a traditional studio light, a couple of balloons and his studio floor to produce an artistic fashion image. As always, his attention to detail, excellent lighting knowledge and creative thinking result in a perfectly balanced, yet highly unusual shot.
