Nike Free Run 5.0 Photo shoot

We were given the brief for our next project and it was to shoot a 10 second moving image piece to advertise a shoe of our choice. We decided to go with a shoe that was built for sports and primarily running. Our theme was to have someone running through the forest being chased by something. 

The weather meant the video would be sunny and lots of highlights so too make the movie look dark and mysterious would be very difficult. This is a few behind the shots from the day shooting. I wanted to get a few detail shots to go along with the video.

 This was the second part of our project. We were too show of the shoe in the studio. I wanted to go for a very advertising heavy look. The gels were on a honeycombed reflector and a snoot. I would like to have had too snoots but i thought this would look fine. I would like to revisit this too shoot it exactly how i want it.

Fashion Bikini Look Book Finals

For college we had the task of shooting a look book for a fashion company. I didnt chose a brand as such but i just went with swimwear. The shoot was deathly cold, I shot at northumberland up a hill were it was 20mph winds and near freezing.
I loved my outdoor lighting, the 2 soft boxes looked great.
Have a look!

Look Book Practise

This week i took flashheads out from my college and practised with them at home. I am shooting a fashion look book for college so wanted to test lighting and poses with my model. The two Flashheads at first did have problems talking to each other with the infra red connection. The flash at first wasnt travelling far enough to hit the unit. I wanted to see how ND filters helped out with flash and shallow depth of field. The final shots came out nice. The poses work also for the swimwear i am shooting.

Barcelona

This week i visited Barcelona  I went with my college and stayed on la ramblas. The city was so beautiful and relaxing. I wanted to shoot portraits and simplistic landscapes. 

Portrait - Francesca Cotton

Today i went out with a close friend and shot some portraits to boost my portfolio and also fran's modelling portfolio. I love some of the shots. Also this was the first chance i had to use my new 50mm f1.4 on a portrait shoot and it performed flawlessly.

Live Brief Final

Today i shot some photos of Bethany Cowling. They were for my final shoot for the Live Brief we were set by photographer Daniel Marston. I was inspired by some fashion shots i saw, where they crop the head out of the photos and its only the torso. I found this to add a sexy feel to the photo. I really wanted a sexy and raunchy feel to my photo so i decided to incorporate this into my finals.

Portrait - Keshia

I got the opportunity to photograph the model Keshia at Daniel Marston's Studio on Tuesday.

Beauty Dish Experiment

Today we were assign a black and white studio project and i stumble across a beauty dish i saw in a lighting diagram so i decided to try it out.
