How to shoot models under the aurora
 http://www.itsjustlight.com/tutorials/n … otography/ At least a couple of people per week ask me how I shoot people under the northern lights, live on location, in the frigid Canadian Arctic. Usually the best time is during the fall when everything is still unfrozen. This was shot in August-ish  Ideally the winter but it can get quite cold (-32C today brrr..see self pic from last night..) :  So I wrote a how-to-guide about how exactly I do it. This site ended up featuring it, which a friend of mine started it about a month ago and asked if I'd contribute something awesome to it. Already it's got a fair amount of people checking it out and about 9000 twitter followers.. https://twitter.com/ijlmagazine pretty cool. Go see it. Then you can do your own northern lights photography of models under aurora borealis  and stars. and stuff. Like so:    Dec 11 13 04:17 pm Link So pretty! It looks unreal. Do you live there forever and get to see it all the time? Dec 11 13 04:38 pm Link I would assume it would be similar to sunsets What I would give to shoot a model in water my style with northern lights Dec 11 13 04:41 pm Link Chris Rifkin wrote: I bet it would take a pretty tough model to get into that water and to actually pose!

I'm going to read your tutorial when I get a chance  Dec 11 13 05:09 pm Link I'd love to be a part of this! Dec 11 13 05:32 pm Link Alabaster Crowley wrote: Oo that'd be cool! Ever come to canada?

Where in the Canadian Arctic is the best place to see it? For the shoot in August what time was it? I heard they only have a few hours of darkness. Dec 11 13 07:33 pm Link Excellent advice, and fantastic photos! IJL is smart to have included your article. Dec 11 13 07:51 pm Link How wonderful!! I look at your work often. A friend of mine, Gabe, has some some images of the Aurora that blow me away. Wish I had been in any of the shots. http://www.wv-art.com/Photography/Locations/Alaska We tried to collaborate this year- working with a model is not something he had ever done before. It's not for everyone. I'm glad it's for you!
