    A short write-up of the techniques I used here. I put up my tripod in a corner of the booth first. I put my camera to RAW and setted the Whitebalance, exposure, diafragm and everything else manually. I asked him to give me a sign if he would be ready for the shot. When he gave it i quickly took the shot. I also used flash, even though the exposure was 1.3 seconds. Iso is set at 64, because of the noise above this level.

    The area was filled with smoke, because there were a cuple of lasers. Smoke + laser = awesome effect. Lighting was all Martin stuff controlled by DMX. I set the lights up like this especially for the shot. The laptop controls them using a specialised software.

    Overall this shoot was one of my most complex ever. I took multiple very nice shots here. My employer gave me a nice tip for it

    That's a really cool shot...loads better than your last "DJ" shot with that melancholy tit.

    And for future reference. "Setted" does not exist, it's simply "set".
