Philippe Kerlo Shoots Beauty Shots Through Plexiglass and Paint (Repost from Fstoppers)

Philippe Kerlo is a really creative beauty and fine art photographer based out of Paris France. Some people are dubbing his work as “extreme glamour” which might be a fitting title. I was truly inspired by his creative project of him shooting beauty portraits through plexiglass covered with paint, acrylic, wax, and other colored materials. The results are really stunning and the idea is so simple I thought I had to share it with everyone. Be sure to check out Philippe’s portfolio because his work has a lot of interesting angles like the photos shown here.

Photo Shoot for "My Mark" Collection


2 weekends ago, I had a fun photo shoot for a dear friend Marie Ortega's My Mark collection, who designs unique and amazing dresses and tee shirt prints.
We had a very hard time trying to get a studio for the shoot so I decided to use a projector screen and white paper on the screen and let it drop down to the floor with the help of tape... a lot of them. Post Production was simple but took a long time because I had to clean up the transition from the projector screen to the paper but I think it went well :)

We went outside of our "studio" once we were done with all of the dresses and had some more fun shots. It was freezing cold outside so we had to be quick.


Here's the simple light set up from the photo above:
And of course, a quick photo of me and Marie!
