Kudos to the editor.

Those reflections or whatever effect was used on the backgrounds is awesome. Nice work, art department!

Not the art department — Patrick used two theatrical focusable zoom spotlights (probably the 1000w variety) with included metal sliders to make the rectangular shapes. Both lights slightly left of camera and a foot higher than models on weighted C-stands. My guess is one light had a color gel the same color as background. A point source light (such as the sun) will yield a sharp shadow, and saturated colors — and a focusable light with a halogen bulb is about as point source as you can get. 100 ISO f/16. Color temp is probably 3,200K. What is degree’s K? — the color of the light when a cavity in a piece of platinum is heated to a specific temperature — the higher the temperature the bluer the light — just like a flame. Why I remember this stuff, I have no idea… when almost everything else I fail to retain.

I’m a big fan of Patrick Demarchelier’s black and white fashion photography because it’s so very clean and elegant. While I love the lighting used here, the background colors are rather garish. There is a lot to be said for backgrounds that remain in the…background…
