When photographer and cinematographer Lester Platt shoots portraits, he likes to step back and let his subject provide him with the creative inspiration to design the perfect shot.

On his third photoshoot with renowned fashion blogger Denny Balmaceda, Lester found exactly what he needed to come up with an especially eye-catching, unique capture.

“My best friend, Steve Selman, owns this studio in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, and I do all my studio projects there – from nude fine art to actor headshots and portraits,” Lester explains. “We’ve created a lot of work in that studio. It’s one of my favorite places to create art.”

By the time Lester got to the studio that day, he said, he already had a solid idea in mind as to what he wanted to accomplish with the shoot.

However, as he enters each interaction with his models with the mindset of “capturing something [he’s] never captured before,” Lester found additional inspiration when Denny started leaping around the room.

“I get inspired by each and every pose the model brings to the shoot,” Lester says. “Once we started shooting, the model suddenly jumped into the air. I asked him to repeat that pose five times. When I saw this capture, I imagined a huge bird flying by him.

“When I see this pose, it says to me ‘you’re going free and you’re not alone,’ so I wanted to capture movement in the frame.”

To perfectly freeze his model in action, Lester used a hand-painted backdrop and set up two Elinchrom lights.

One was fitted with a large 35-inch octobox filter pointed at the model, and the other had a barndoor setup pointed at the backdrop.

The image was shot with a Canon 5DS R, using a Sigma 50mm Art lens with a shutter speed of 1/125, ISO 100, and an aperture of f/9.
