In this inspiring 10-minute breakdown released by New York City-based beauty and fashion photographer Lindsay Adler, she takes you behind the scenes of how how she shot, lit, and edited these cinematic portraits of a girl in a forest, but the catch is that all of the effects were created in camera. The girl who seemingly looks like she is stranded in an enchanted forest is in fact standing in front of a life size print of that forest in Adler's studio in downtown Manhattan. In this episode, she reiterates the importance of creating the effects in camera and ultimately having the creative control over the lighting and props before even entering Photoshop.

By the time I finished the video, I didn't even feel like ten minutes had passed. The way she explains her process is so easy to watch. For me, the biggest thing I took away was that in order to make compelling and realistic-looking scenes in my studio, there is a lot of planning that must go into each image. It made me really think about why I create an image and the story I want to say with it. With using my resources creatively like she has, I can also bring my visions to life.
