Recreating SEVEN on a budget | Nicole Shapiro

Our challenge: recreate a Fincher shot! Inspired by the ShotDeck challenge, we took a still from David Finchers “SEVEN” (1995) and tried to recreate it on a budget. This was my first attempt without any research - I wanted to create something soft, moody and desaturated. Thank you to the team who spent their Saturday afternoon tinkering with lighting.
