Fashion Photography Shoot #2

This location was out at Mt. Stromlo Observatory in the old burnt out observatory. Lots to work with in such a small space. Was a hectic day with 4 models with 4 garments. Scotty was working overtime moving lights around for me. Was a good day out in the end with everyone having a good time. Cheers to all who helped out, the models, the designer and scotty tang!

Fashion Photography

Well I have been in a world of stress worrying about what I was going to shoot for my location folio. With such a short time until its due I had to knuckle down and come up with some quality work. I turned to a fashion designer who I have done some work for in the past and set up a few shoots. Before I knew it we had it all booked with models, make up, garments, locations, lighting assistance, lighting gear. Basically everything was ready, then it was my time to shine.

First shoot was shot out at Gungahlin at the old scout hall.

Aerial Photography

Had a ball flying high at the school workshop. Was a good experience and one that im pretty sure wont be the last. Some very interesting patterns to be shot from up high, especially at the arboretum!

Car Workshop

On this chilly evening it was a bunch of fun to shoot some cars for a change. I would much rather be shooting cars on location then in the studio, even though both present different problems I find getting out of "the office" more fun. Lighting before then sun fully went down was tough, the harsh reflections from the direct sun were hard to deal with. After the sun went down the skys soft box effect was beautiful. Jeremy Beasley got some great shots with the long lens. We used a remote flash in the glove box with a light warming gel to pop the inside of the car a bit more and give the body more shape. The last 2 shots were about 8-12 second exposures which gave me enough time to remotely flash it from the left and right. I really wished I had shot more detail shots (only shot one), I think we were a bit fixated on the full body. Will have to remember for next time.
