About the photo-shoot
As a fan I had been striving to take her portrait for a long time. But as with all actors and actresses, they do not necessarily want to be photographed if it is not a PR activity related to an opening of a new play or a film. And besides, I think they have a pretty fully booked private agenda as well. I feel very humble that Marie would find the time for this.
I had planned for a quite dark and moody light and colour palette. And the light setup for this photo shoot was quite advanced with a combination of different diffusors, flashlights, ambient window light and intricate homemade continuous light sources, all with different temperatures of course. (Why make it simple?). Anyway… it came out as a wanted and Marie was – of course – very professional.
