FIRSTLY, TELL US THE STORY BEHIND THIS IMAGE. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO SHOOT IT?

I was trying to make something cool and discovering my own abilities along the way.

WHAT PROCESS DID YOU USE?

The process was quite simple. I set up the camera on a tripod and switched it to B mode while the dancer performed. To capture a natural feel, I took photos in motion. Studio lights were positioned on the side of the room, directed toward the model, with the rest of the room kept dark.

HOW DID YOU PROCESS IT?

I sent it to the @zarvan_studio for the process and scan.
