Ilya Nodia's "The Black Witch" project - a photo session - advertising shooting for a renewed quest "Salem witch" from the Claustrophobia corporation. This is a story about the dark and evil witch who lives in the forest. Players get to her home, and have to get out in an hour, otherwise she will come back and destroy them. Photos also tell a little story about what is happening at home when a witch is inside.

The creators of this quest room are very inspired by the different movies about witches, so we decided to invite a 69 year-old woman actress for the role of the witch. We were all satisfied with the process and the result.

As I said, this is a genre photos, shooting with advertising style. I have three main photographer, who help me inspired - it is famous Dean Bradshaw, Joey L. and a terrific Gregory Crewdson of course.

The main thing - it's your fantasy. Many photographers are experiencing that don't have enough equipment or expensive professional cameras. The same images you can easily do on the most simple and cheap camera and flashlights, and you always can creating a softbox from scrap materials.

For shooting I used the method of montage, combining lots of photos in one. With this helps me a Manfrotto tripod (in fact it can be anything). I use the camera Canon 5d mark 3, fixed lenses and 3 Speedlights Canon 600ex rt.
