Photo Direction

How to shoot this aesthetic

"Floating panels of frosted light transparency, blur, and the architecture of the barely-there"

Shot list

  • Portrait of subject seen through a sheet of frosted or textured glass the face present but refracted
  • Environmental shot in a space with glass panels creating layered planes of transparency
  • Close-up of a glass surface with a colorful background visible through it, focus on the glass rather than what is behind

Lighting

Strong backlight through the glass or transparent element as the key source; the subject should appear to be lit from within by the glow behind the translucent surface
