UPY Portrait - Winner
'Rapunzel on Fire'
Thomas Heckmann
Our image Idea was to create a completely black silhouette in the foreground, but at the same time make eye contact with the viewer. To make the hair glow, the camera settings were for the silhouette and three powerful strobes were needed hidden in the background. These background strobes were triggered by long cables and an additional RSU . For the face I used a combination of video light/strobe (Subtronic Fusion) with Retra LSD snoot for the front.
Judge's comment: This highly unusual image using strong colours and contrasts had a winning appeal which endured every time. - Peter Rowlands
