On #snowfallfx they like to challenge us to light @aminjoseph in all black at night with a black hat on his head while standing next to @damsonidris wearing all black at night. One of the ingredients is your hair and makeup team to make the skin and hair reflective and bring out the nuances textures . Having moist or reflective textures that @tproducer1 @facemaker59 @cindyescalante79 @coolandgroovymakeup all give me surfaces to light along with wardrobe that has reflective values @mynkadraper , these women of color help a brother out big time. Nothing is flat black or a dark color that is non reflective. Within that use your judgment what is your best approach to reflect color on different surfaces . What colors do the surfaces have built into them ? But damn lighting dark skin actors is fun but in all black wearing a black hat at night is something else. I REFUSE TO FRONT LIGHT BLACK AND BROWN SKIN... it’s almost insulting for me to see that. Take the time and study what works, as if you were standing there with these folks✊🏾🎥
