Exquisite Geometry: A Wacom and Projector Photo Shoot
![]()
This was my first time working with Amber. In preparation for the shoot, I told her the same thing I tell all of my models: bring 4-6 different outfit options and have hair and makeup ready when they arrive.
Along with several wardrobe options, Amber came to the shoot with a bunch of different head wraps and rhinestone stickers. Going into the shoot I loosely knew that I wanted to use a projector and play with colors and shapes, so I suggested that we keep it simple and do a beauty shoot showcasing different head wraps and rhinestone configurations (across the eyebrows; down the nose; across the jawline, etc).
From a lighting standpoint, all I used was a projector and a background strobe. I hooked my projector and Wacom tablet up to my MacBook and opened Photoshop. Then I created a colored canvas and began creating white lines/shapes which were projected onto Amber.

After getting a range of shots with one of the colors/shapes I simply shifted the hue of the canvas in Photoshop and made new lines. We shot four different setups in less than an hour.
