Gels and Mylar in Fashion Photography | Lighting Techniques

Recently, we came across photos that inspired us to try a technique with Mylar. It was a lot of fun playing with this!

Mylar is a special type of polyester film that is stretched. You'll find this on amazon – https://www.amazon.in/Futaba-Emergency-Blanket-for-Outdoor/dp/B019K8V4JS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1QB6C0H210IVN&keywords=mylar+sheet&qid=1669364242&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjI0IiwicXNhIjoiMy40NyIsInFzcCI6IjIuMTAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=mylar+%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-1

This shoot uses two creative tools; gels and mylar to create an eye-catching fashion image! Bringing this shot to life involved 2 constant lights, 1 strobe, and creative ways of placing mylar, so let us walk you through it step-by-step!
