Ladies 'n Gentlemen,
I was thinking about updating you on my whereabouts. Well currently in Germany, will be flying back to the US on the 29th. I'll be shooting a street photography series of cities like Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I am really stoked for that and can't wait to get to work, BUT IN THE MEANTIME...
...I had beautiful model Viviane Stutz in the studio. She is a young upcoming model over here in Germany and WOW, I see why.
Canon EOS 5D Mark III
24-105L @ 75mm
f/11 and 1/160 at iso 100
I was working with a brand new and perfect Canon camera, and two studio flashes. Both equipped with a strip light soft box AND grid. The strip light was about 4 feet tall and one foot wide. Both placed about 3 feet away from her sides. I had my hair light not flash at the model, but flash the background, because I wanted some texture back there. I like grunge backgrounds, even though they are so incredibly mainstream and boring at times. I'm not going to get into the settings of the flashes, just use your own d%mn meter.
Now this photo was a quite a lot of work in Photoshop (CS 5.1 - yea' still haven't updated) I cleared the skin, lightened and sharpened the eyes, reddened the lips, did a boob job, did some shading of her cheeks, then added all the color and sized it down to 500px. Voila, DONE!
But WAIT, this is not ALL. If you order NOW, you will get this awesomeness.
So what did I do here? Take the same setting I wrote about up there, but take away all the soft boxes and flashes. Here I put one flash on a boom like 9 feet across the room with a standard reflector on it powered it up to almost full (in a dark room that is a LOT of light - 400ws). Aiming is everything here, remember the elevator blog post from last year where I talked about the butterfly shadow? Well, this is me revisiting that topic. This is not a portrait light like up in the first picture, this is a fashion lighting. If you have a model with a face and big eyes like that, you hit the m%therf%cking jackpot! It is basically your own sun. Looks sick, huh?
Well that's it for now, its past 2:30 am and I have shootings tomorrow.
Peace on the streets SAAAN,
Jo Thomas
