Expect at least 2 updates a week.

Center focus point or something else

Now this question is asked a LOT and I really mean A LOT.
“Frank why do you move your camera up and down?”
“Which focus point should I use?”

ZVIEWFINDER

Both questions actually boils down to the same answer.
I grew up with analogue photography, meaning focussing manually with a great (and sometimes not so great) focus screen, often this were the screens where you would see the image opaque in the center when it was in focus, plus/or a circle that made the image broken up or complete when out/in focus. These focus “helpers” where always in the middle of the frame, now did this mean that your subject was always in the middle…. no of course not, you would focus, recompose and shoot.

New images from Marie

Today a selection of the images I shot of Marie during a 1:1 workshop on location.
The Locations were all very close to our studio, as you know the best locations are right under your nose 🙂
Light varies from natural light, sunbounce and strobes.
In my opinion it’s always very important to shoot with as many different looks as possible on location to give your client/model as many different looks as possible to choose from, this way you always have alternatives if a client doesn’t really like one certain look, in the end it will land you more jobs.

 

I used two different cameras on this session.
A Phase One DF with a Leaf Credo60 digital back and a Schneider 80mm f2.8 LS lens
The Fuji X-E1 with a Leica R 50mm f2.0 lens.

 

Let’s start with the natural light shots.
