In this Photo Deconstruction, I break down how I created a super-saturated beauty image using three continuous lights. I'll take you through the concept of the image, the lighting setup, and the post-processing to bring it to life.

I decided to use an analogous color scheme for this shoot, which involves using colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, such as pink, purple, and blue. This choice allowed me to create a soothing and harmonious color palette while still achieving a bold and eye-catching look due to the use of saturated colors. The analogous scheme perfectly suited the theme of exploring color and contributed to the visual impact of the resulting beauty image.

This image was taken during one of my intensive workshops, be sure to check out https://lindsayadler.photo for more info on upcoming events!
