It’s not Iceland 
, is not Ireland 
, it’s not Turkey! 
It’s a unique place with the real basalt columns near a small Ukrainian village Bazal’tove on the north of the country, Rivne region. 
This place attracts tourists with the beauty of the basalt columns and the lakes formed after the flooding of the quarry.
We were also attracted by this location and would love to present our own artistic look on this place in the next pargraphs. I will also share some secrets how to make an ordinary photoshoot to look more interesting and mysterious! 
Basalt is called a ‘black gold of Ukraine’ 
, but to capture it’s really deep black color one should wait for a significant shower. Without the water on the surface of the columns they look rather gray or brown.
We were lucky if we can say so, and on the day of the photoshoot a really strong shower began and the columns became totally black! 
It was already evening and to make the pictures look more mysterious we decided to use the colorful filters on the portable flashes to make some colorful spots of light on the background. Of course to light the face of the model we used also a portable flash with a normal white light without any colorful filters on it. With the red filter on a portable flash 
the black wet basalt columns looked like a real molten lava . And it was also one of our ideas, to underline the volcanic origin of the location.
So it was quite cold 
because of the rain, we were totally wet 
, the kilograms of the wet clay were sticking to our shoes 
, but finally we received the pictures we wanted on which basalt columns looked really black with parts of them looked like a molten lava because of the red filter we used on the flash, it was our small photographic trick. 
And a few minor tips about the look - how to make it fast and easy. A classic and ordinary long black dress plus a long lace cloth, flowing down or blew with the wind can make your outfit look really interesting and fairytale. The look is completed with makeup and a crown. A minor detail, we used a lace of a teal color, that is why on the filters we used colors which are combined with teal - shades of blue 
and green 
or contrasting colors, for example, red , or colors combination!
Hope you enjoyed reading! 
Даже без цветных фильтров оно выглядит впечатляющим
