My blog, although I don’t see myself as a blogger but as a Photographer I will try to blog some interesting material during the weeks.
Expect at least 2 updates a week.
In todays episode it’s all about photographing models on location. Now you might think “great and beautiful locations” but in this workshop it’s about using less ideal locations to get awesome results. You see the whole setup, the results and I explain in depth different ways to work with ambient light and strobes together.
I love to mix continuous light with strobes, but this sometimes also means that the beautiful light from for example an old tube radio doesn’t shine as nicely as I would have liked it, and I don’t want to raise the ISO more. Well in those cases there is a pretty easy fix in Photoshop.
I do have to add that it’s vital to plan a shoot like this carefully. You don’t want any light hitting your object, or maybe just a little bit, this way the effect looks a lot more realistic, seeing in real life very faint light also wouldn’t register that much, so to get the mood… well you have to create the mood.
In todays episode of behind the closed DOORs we take a look behind the scenes during the workshop “light of the old masters”
This is without a doubt one of the most advanced workshops I teach because its all about total light control using every tool we have in the studio, this can range from the use of a Lightblaster for some cool background effect, flags for shadow control, special soft focus lenses and techniques and a lot lot more. But the main idea is to create everything in camera,…. just like the old masters.
(well ok, I do some retouching on the images to make them black and white).
