How to shoot this aesthetic

"The future reflected in itself liquid metal surfaces and the aesthetics of pure material"

Shot list

  • Portrait of subject wearing chrome or reflective silver garments, the environment visible in the fabric
  • Close detail of a chrome-surfaced object car panel, mirror ball, metallic helmet reflecting a distorted studio
  • Full-body environmental shot with subject in all-silver, standing in an industrial metal-clad space

Lighting

A single very hard light source bare strobe or direct HMI positioned to create maximum specular highlights on chrome surfaces; diffusion kills the reflectivity
