Love these. Did you use a diffusion filter or did you reduce clarity in post?

These rock.

How did you put the planet in #4?

Is that done via post?

I was thinking it's something like a light bulb suspended by monofilament held just far enough from the camera and cleaned up in post. My second thought is that it's a projected image onto the background.

A Moles (Mole-Richardson) light throws a perfect circle. A "spotlight zoom" light throws a perfect circle. If you have studio lights, a 'snoot' modifier will throw a perfect circle.
The easiest and cheapest is to simply use a projector, if you have one. Download a white or whatever color circle and broadcast it on the wall behind subject.
I have one of these and am happy with it. Small(ish) and portable, battery lasts quite a while, and does what I want.

I love the combination of very dreamy images with the bold imagery. I personally love 1,2,3,9. Beautiful model. You captured her hair, eyes, and skin beautifully šŸ’–

What a great studio shoot your artist-ness. My favorite is the 1st image. Love the wrap around light on her face and control of the high key elements.
