This is a screen grab from Taylor Swift's style video (3:22). I like the soft hazy color light in front of her face. Any thoughts on what I can try out in my studio to create this look in camera and not in photoshop? Many thanks!

Use a Hazer or another smoke machine for the atmosphere. Use a backlight to to create some lens flair and add Lee #116 Medium Blue-Green filters on the lights for color on the background.

This is bang on. I would add that use ONLY hazer, and not a cheap halloween effect smoke/fog machine. You can usually find hazers at movie prop rental houses. If you end up going the way of smog/fog machine make sure you have a giant fan that distributes it fairly uniformly.
