Back to the box…

I have always believed that we all have two sides to us, whether it be good or bad one side always fights to be the dominant side and that is what I have tried to do in this picture…albeit since I have taken this picture I have had a few other ideas and I will be expanding on this…

In the box, after placing the model I stuck my small LED light inside the box above her hand and set the colour to orange for the first shot and blue for the second. I also asked the model to wear something that would fit each shot too, as I thought that was important to try and sell the shot. Also to light up her face I used a small torch. 

In post, I took in photoshop and cloned out the lights inside the box, I added the flames. For the blue one I had to invert the flames and change the hue slightly. I then had to add a further glow around the flame and around the model to and finally added a few little particles around the flames to make it look like bits of wood where flying out. In lightrooms I reduced the blacks and increased the sharpness and exposure a little bit, and the bought both images back into photoshop.

Originally on my first draft of this picture I had a lot of negative space and I was not sure what to do with it, I tried to add a 'Vs' in the middle but it did not work, eventually I bought the image in and cropped it as tight as I can but still feel like it is not right….

Any ideas?
