an actress in Rome

In this Editor’s Choice Streetfashion MagZZine presents an on-location shoot in Rome. The amazing photos of model Eleonora Puglia were taken by photographer Alessandro Rossi.
 
Eleonora according to Alessandro is an amazing professional dancer, actress, a very nice person, humble and a talented model. In case of this session Alessandro chose to portray Eleonora in her capacity as an actress, seeking her expressiveness and emphasizing her elegant personality. To reach this, Alessandro designed a ''film-style'' mood with two looks; The first one ''business woman'' and the second more elegant and evening like.

The first part of the shooting was shot outside a train station transformed into a gigantic mall and restaurant. The session took place in the time from afternoon until evening.

Alessandro decided to mainly use the red bricks on the outside as a background, very clean and not too distracting, searching for leading-lines and using longer focal lengths (from 135mm to 200mm) and a fast aperture (f/2.8) to create a strong blurred ''cinema-style'' background. He shot with a Canon 6D and 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II. For the lighting Alessandro used a Canon Speedlite 430 EXII, through a 120cm Octabox, wireless triggered by the YN-622C triggers.

The second part of the shooting took place inside the mall & restaurant. There Alessandro wanted to get a a more sensual and elegant look. He used the same set-up here for camera and lens; the lighting was also provided by a single Speedlite (Canon 430 EXII), but this time in a 90x60cm softbox and with a 1/4 CTO Gel for balance the ambient light (more tungsten-like).
 
Thanks to both of you, Alessandro and Eleonora for giving us the opportunity to showcase these amazing set her in Streetfashion MagZZine.
