RETRO clothing store

Utilizing alleyway near shop to get light from either side

Backlight from shop window

Two Flashguns cranked up to turn changing area into blank white canvas

Had a lot of fun a couple of weeks ago in a retro clothing store


Rather than shoot the shop as is I decided to shoot the feature more in a retro fashion style 


I over exposed many of the shots using windows as backlight and a flash to light in front giving a light lively feel
