This is the second time now I’ve adopted rear projection into my photography, and it’s fast becoming a favourite technique to create dramatic images with backdrops that would otherwise be impossible to recreate in real life. It’s a great technique, but one I would only recommend if you are fairly experienced and have the right lens cleaning equipment, as it could permanently damage your lenses.

This creates a more hazy flare, which in places looks a little like Earth’s ozone layer.

In some of the photographs I’ve used smoke where perhaps in real life there wouldn’t be any, but I think in this instance a bit of artistic license creates a more dramatic final image compared to something that’s 100% scientifically accurate.įinally, I wanted to add some really interesting lens flare effects to help recreate the multiple light sources found in deep space, and so for some of the shots I very carefully and very gently applied a thin layer of vaseline over parts of the lens.

Water mist and smoke spray both create the necessary look, with water mist being a bit kinder to the model (smoke spray tends to leave a sticky residue that needs wiping off after use). There’s obviously the light coming from the sun, but light also reflects off the surface of both the moon and Earth, creating shadows and lens flare from all manner of different angles.įor me, the most important thing was to make sure the main areas of light and shade in the backdrop were matched, so if the Earth in the backdrop was partially covered in shadow, I would also make sure the same side of the Discovery or Hubble was too. It was also important to match the colours, and for this I used a variety of gels that would reflect off the model, giving the impression that those reflections were created by the light in the backdrop – such as the orange lights of the cities below or the purple haze created over the atmosphere.Īdding smoke into photography incorporates a nice layer of atmosphere (not the Earth’s actual atmosphere, but the dramatic kind of ‘atmosphere’) as well as helping to create the illusion that the shuttle’s boosters are firing. This time, though, I was dealing with space – and in space, there’s always more than one light source to contend with.

In order to create the illusion that the models and backdrop were all part of the same image, getting the lighting right was once again key.
