Corprate Shoot

I did my corporate shoot today and i am happy with my end result!

Portrait:

In the beginning I did want to have 3 lights, the 3rd lighting being hair light but decided i didn't need the separation. I had a soft box that was that was posited 45 degrees to the right to my model I had a reflector to add the light to the right hand side of the face. I also had a background light to make the background not look flat and to add a nice effect to my final image.

I am very happy with my shots.

Full Length:

I found this Portrait to be very hard with getting the floor to look nice , lighting correct and making sure not to cut out the feet. It took a lot of trail and error with having to change backgrounds where lights where faced.

Though eventually i manged to get the correct lighting, the floor black and the lights in the right positioned. I had the soft box high above the ground and the light to be coming down above my model. I had a light 45 degrees for the back and had it diffused. I couldn't have done this without the help of my lovely assistants Lauren, Bec and the help from my sister.

Editorial Shoot

Editorial Shoot

Brief:

Is a creative fashion Willy Wonka inspired Shoot, which includes a golden ticket, hundreds of thousands lips, Nerd ropes. When you see it you should feel like the model has been a helper in the Willy Wonka factory. My Magazine cover is Frankie, which likes to be different vintage and creative with their magazine. The cover is almost always of a close up of a head and shoulders portrait. Also my cover could also be a cover of Yen.

Research:

Lighting:

I really like the lighting of the first portrait, with some side lighting with the hair and anothing light slightly to the left for the face, would like to do back lighting for the models her and i maybe use a colour filter to enhance the photo to fell like willy wonka even more.

Equipment:

lights, lollies, props, colour filter, diffuser, reflector, box

Group Shoot

Group Shoot - 60's Shoot

Brief:

For my shoot I am going back in time to the 60's and having 3 models conveying 3 girls about to go traveling.

Research:

Lighting:

I would like my lighting to like the second image, which may be two lights or one diffused for the soft light effect and have outer edges dark thats almost creates a vinetted effect.

Equipment:

Two or three lights, diffuser, white background, white box, reflector, vintage props.

Corprate Shoot

Corprait Shoot

Breif:

For my head and shoulder portrait I would like to have a relaxed pose, smiling and sitting on a stool, body positioned on the side and face towards the camera. A relaxed yet confident face expresstion.

For the full length portrait i would like the pose to be like the last image, may have slight differences such as changing hand positons. Have the same relaxed smile.

Research:

Lighting:

Soft lighting form the front, some back lighting in the hair to add seperation and and one back light to the background to make the background not seem flat. I would like a black background.

Lighting positions will have to chnage as the full length portrait will come up with different readings.
I would like not to change the lighting to much have simple lighting, I would like the backdrop to be white for the full length portrait for the seamless effect this.

Equipment:

Refector, Stool, 3 lights and diffuser.
