Well a couple of weeks ago, myself and a friend shot this video, we covered 2 roller derby bouts and rattled off some 24,000+ frames between us and I managed to find the small jpg buffer limit on a 1D2n. Editing these has been a real nightmare, I have a lot more respect for the patience of Keith Loutit and his wonderful work over on Vimeo.
Here’s another update to the homework series, this time the sitter is a Research Technician at a University. I used her job as a basis for a lighting scheme, deciding to introduce a blue theme, through use of both gels on the flash and WB shifts on the camera.
The first was shot with a tungsten WB and the main flash was gelled to match, i then had two bare flashes that turned blue from the WB as did the window light in the kitchen. The others were shot with a flash WB (in camera) and mixed normal flash with a full CTB blue gelled flash. Anyhow, here they are:
Here are some shots from my second sitting for the Homework series (I’ve another shot and waiting to process). The model here works as a receptionist in a Doctor Surgery, with a presecribed uniform.
Like James, I’ve got a couple of ongoing portrait projects one of which is all about people, what they wear for work and their homes. The concept behind the shoot is one of comparing ourselves and our homes. I’m taking people that wear a uniform/gear for work and take their portraits in their house. I’m also looking to expand it too, to take in hobbies and pastimes that require gear/uniform. I’m also experimenting with the Tilt and Shift lens too, using it for portrait sessions.
Well this weekend, I had the first shoot for this project and the sitter is a “Horticultural Education Officer” The uniform is quite minimal consisting of branded t-shirts and fleeces, but I do want a range of people and outfits. Anyway enough waffle, here are a couple of shots from the session.
oh and if you wear a uniform, use special gear for work or a pastime, and fancy being part of the series… get in touch via the comments.
