BTS during the workshop in Groningen
Today a video Annewiek shot during the workshop in Groningen.
The workshop “Fashion shoot A-Z” is without a doubt one of the workshops I always really look forward to (but I actually say that with all the workshops, but this one…. well you know what I mean) during this workshops the attendees are not shooting themselves, this means I have a lot more time to really dive into the whole concept of the modelshoot, in fact this workshop was created during the time I wrote my book “Mastering the modelshoot” which actually had the work title “A-Z” Scott (Kelby) wanted me to write a book covering every single aspect of the modelshoot and I thought it would be a cool idea to also do a workshop like this, the name A-Z is still attached to the workshop but will be changed in 2015 to “Mastering the modelshoot”.
During the day I show different light setups, often 3-4 and explain everything about them, how to meter them, which modifiers to use and of course the big “why did you choose this”. After every shoot I will directly go back to the computer and show all the editing I do including the sharing on social media. The workshop is filled with information on working with the models, adding mood to a shoot, styling etc. it’s just way too much to write down here.
During this workshop Nadine was our model and this always means a little bit of extra to the styling.
So here are some of the results of that day.
For the next set me moved into the little chapel.
This place was very hard to shoot in, loads of risk factors and windows on the side, as you can see I’m actually using a mix of ambient light through the windows as accent lights and positioned myself so that the windows were blocked by Nadine in some of the shots for maximum effect.
The risk factor in this chapel was a bit higher than in the other locations for a very simple reason, everything was tight.
In the whole museum we were shooting in locations with irreplaceable items, if we broke something…. well there is no price to put on it because…. well it can’t be replaced, meaning we would have to call in one of the museum employees every time we wanted to move something or wanted to check if it was ok if we touched something, they were incredibly relaxed about it and were great helps, but always remember when shooting in locations like this (if you ever do) you are a guest and be VERY VERY careful.
In the end I decided to go for a serie of different looks.
We started with natural light only.
And as always sometimes I have trouble choosing between BW and color.
