Blue background using black paper

[sarahgirl777]

I just thought I'd share this picture with you guys to show you what you can do with gel's. This picture was shot in my studio against a black seamless paper background. However on the floor behind her I had a speedlight with a blue gel on it shining on the black and it actually gave me this beautiful color blue. I was just playing around when I discovered this, previously I was using the white seamless paper to shine different colors on, never thinking the black would give me such a beautiful result. The white design was done in PP using a texture/graphic and overlaying it then erasing the pattern over the model. But the color of the blue hasn't been touched in PP. Hope you like.

If I shot portraits, which I don't, I might use this effect. It is really cool.
