Some more classical Marie
Today the final selection of images we shot last week during several days with Marie and some classical dresses.
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.
Eat Cake
During the first DSLR video workshop held on Saturday Marie was out model. She was doing three workshops in a row and you have already seen some of the beautiful dresses she was using in the images shot during the first workshop (and more tomorrow), but today I want to show you one scene we shot during the DSLR video for beginners workshop.
During this new workshop (this was the first time for me) we do several video shoots in the morning. In this case an outside shoot, interview style, blue screen and we decided to do one fun idea Marie had during lunch. All videos are actually not meant for production but are just used to show the different techniques and give me material to demonstrate Adobe Premiere editing after lunch. It’s a jam-packed workshop by the way, maybe one of the most intense I teach but I loved it.
During the workshop I give tips about :
Using gear like Edelkrone shoulder rigs, Small HD monitors, Glidecam use
But also software tricks to combine multicam recordings with Plural eyes and Premiere, do chroma key within Premiere, use Red Giant looks for unique looks to the material, adding music with Sonic fire and much much more…. including of course how to light, film etc. Although it’s a beginners course there still is a lot of information in it that can also help for small productions like videoclips, interview clips etc.
Marie brought some cake and because she was also wearing some Marie Antoinette like dresses she thought it would be fun to give her twist on the famous expression “let them eat cake”…. well here it is. Do remember this is just shot in between the workshop and edited during the workshop.
Polaroid
Yesterday I talked about the guestbook and I mentioned we are putting polaroids into the book, well today I will give you a second tip in the form of a mini review of the new Polaroid Z340 Instant Digital Camera
Polaroid Z340 Instant Digital Camera
The Z340 is a new Polaroid camera with a twist.
The moment I saw the news of it’s release I wanted to own one, and of course not for the great image quality, well ok it has a 14 MP sensor, and it’s ISO goes to a reasonable height and it shoots video. But you buy the Polaroid for something else. Well at least when you love the old form of the Polaroids and I do. It’s just fun to hold a camera with a build in strobe, aim it at your subject, press a shutter and hold the image in your hands in less than a minute.
Guestbook for your business
I talk a lot about technique, share images and videos etc. on this blog but sometimes I also want to give a slightly different tip, a tip that can make your business as a photographer grow. Sometimes these are the tips that are kept secret or that people are not willing to share because they think that someone else will steal some of their market. Well in reality it’s of course all about YOU, and not about the things that you add to the “experience”, in the real end people have to like YOU for who YOU are, and believe it or not in second place is often the quality, although I won’t say that quality is not important of course, it is, but reality is that you can be the best photographer (or any other profession) and a real jury and nobody will hire you and if your competitor is slightly less gifted but a general great guy he/she will land the job. I’m sorry but that’s reality.
