I've been trying to capture this look for years. Candlelight is an absolute pain to shoot by. It's very warm, very lush, and very, very, very dim. Movies use super-triple-wicked mega-candles to up the light output, something a bit beyond our budgets. I had some luck with previous Canon cameras and fast lenses, but the old Canon primes go to dreamy mush wide open and the noise is grainy and distracting much past ISO 400. I've always used a bit of cheat light from other light sources, but then we were talking about a full-on whack of studio flash through lots of warm gels. Now, with a Sony with a clean sensor, f/1.4 lenses which are sharp in the centre wide open, and LED panels to lift the overall light levels, we're finally getting to the real look and feel of candlelight. I could probably even have got away with lighting the whole scene just with candles, were it not for needing to keep naked flames away from some exposed structure wood-work in the house. I'm *really* happy with the way these have turned out, and with the way Chloe's delivery of disdain mixed with straight-up sex appeal works so well for the look and feel. She's decadent, warm, oiled-up, glowing, sultry, smouldering and a perfect match for the scene. Love it.
