Flowing Hair
I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to take photos with "flowing" hair.
Like for example, this photo: http://extreme2301.deviantart.com/ar...F43294667&qo=0 Do you just get an assistant to flip the hair and then run out of the way or what?

Yup. You have a person hold the hair and then release it.

You can also use a high shutter speed and ask the person to twirl, or flip their hair. It takes a couple tries to get it right. The person has to relax their face, or make a certain face while moving.

The hold and release is the easiest.
I've used fans I've also just had the cosplayer do a spin.

For that particular shot, I would guess either an assistant, or maybe the model flipped her head and upper body to give that effect.
With that amount of hair, it would take a pretty strong fan to make it move that much - and the skirt doesn't show any sign of blowing/flowing, so I would guess that it's not a big fan. Similarly, since the skirt isn't flared out, it's not a full-body twirl. Anyway, there are a variety of ways to do it. Powerful fans are a lot of fun but a little unpredictable, and can wreak havoc on delicate costumes.

All good suggestions. I would add wooshing with a reflector or a large foam core board.
Also having someone out of frame on a ladder or step-stool dropping hair from height. How about fishing line suspending strands from above. (lol) be careful with these, photoshoots are no fun if someone gets hurt. |
