Photography by Allan Solemnidad: March 2014

I had the opportunity to shoot Ariel for a NOH8 Campaign shoot. We had to be a little resourceful with the grey coloured duct tape as it is very sticky. I never imagined that anyone would want to put that on their lips, but it's for a good cause. I had black tape, but it's a good thing there's Canadian Tire on Cambie Street. Ariel, is a wonderful model. We had a fun time coming up with multiple poses for the shoot and communicating with tape on her mouth. I shot this in studio using (4) Canon 600rt speedlites (2 on background, 1 in Lasolite 24" Softbox, and 1 to trigger strobes) Canon 24-70mm L lens, and 5DM3. I look forward to working with Ariel again on another shoot.
