... and second picture in the series with Romy. For those of you who missed the first image you can check it out by clicking here.

I wasn't really sure which picture to put up next but this one just had a pretty awesome fire graffiti look that I haven't quite seen around. If I had the choice, I'd try doing this against a solid background to put in some surreal futuristic scene with awesome cyborgs or something rather than having a constant abandonned graffiti background...

That being said, the graffiti is friggin awesome so... Enjoy =)

Shot with the crazy ninja-designer-makeup artist - fire dancing - kia screaming Romy Noel in an abandonned building.

All in all, the shoot went well. Those who follow me on facebook already know now that all didn't go according to plan when Romy started spitting out fireballs.... which resulted in an entire squad of firemen and three seperate patrols of police officer (including one very cute blond I must mention) that arrested us for... well, breaking and entering as well as spitting little balls of happiness into the air.

That being said, our awesome charm and fantastic good looks got us through without so much as a ticket.

Shot with the indispensable help of Julius Adarna (who even stands by me as we get arrested),

Lighting wise, there was a 3 light setup in place to freeze the shot in place. The camera was placed on a tripod and panned during the shot to enlarge the effect of the fire while Romy was dancing.
