I asked the couple to go towards the window and when they arrived, to touch the glass with one hand.
Go towards the window and subtly touch the glass.

Framing is fundamental in this type of scene, first I thought of the ideal position to form the cross design and then I asked the couple to go to the window. I stopped them just before they would intersect with the “cross” that was created by the light & smoke machine so it formed part of the image and story.

I applied the preset and made some adjustments to exposure, contrast, and highlights.
The challenge was to find the exact composition that i thought worked best with the cross element and the couple.
I started by composing first without the couple, and then finally asked them to move into the shot.

For this type of image, a smoke machine and directional light are indispensable. If you have the chance to play with a smoke machine, do it!
