TAG – Cont.

Following the first post for TAG, here comes the BTS (Behind the scene) video before the shoot.

I used a Nikon D3s, with continuous timing capture of 1fps. The lens is the Nikon 14-24 AFS – G. The camera was set on medium JPEG with an ISO of 3200. Images have been cropped in the video. I use iMovie to make this basic video.

Thanks again to all the models, the two make up artists Claire Warmenhoven and Elicia Ringuet  and the hair stylist Bianca Pezzella (www.biancanerohairboutique.com)

Special thanks to Lyndell Roberts for assisting me for this shoot.

TAG

The last project for my 2010 Season before heading off for some holidays with my Family.

For this project, I wanted something a bit different and with new faces, people that I didn’t have an opportunity to work with …. well most of them as for this shoot I called back Sam (from my M for Mola shoot) and Katie whom I shot for a bridal magazine back to the end of November.

So what is TAG about ?

TAG stands for …

T for Ted’s Canberra. Special thanks to Greg, store manager Canberra, for lending me a Nikon D3x for this shoot, as I wanted to compare the pixels to my Canon 5D Mark II.

A for Alliance Francaise. Special thanks to Philippe, director of the Alliance Francaise in Canberra (www.afcanberra.com.au), for letting my use the premises for this shoot.

G for …. Guess where I got my inspiration looking at their behind the scene shoot for their 2010 campaigns. Of course we don’t have the same budget with the same team but I think we managed to pull out something decend.

On the side, I am also a huge fan of TAG (Heuer) watches as I have a few of them myself, so this project is a little bit more personal than my previous ones.

While we are in the confidence, I approached GUESS in the Civic and asked for some outfit for this shoot…

The brand being global and their commercial shoots are planned way a head and it is not to be shot in Canberra … (not yet) so we ended up using some of the models gears.

Mega thanks to all the talents involved:

Models: Carlie Potter, Natalie Edwards, Chloe Henderson, Nina, Samantha Lawson Fletcher, Katie van den Bos and Michale Kucharski (Canberra’s Bachelor of The Year 2010 finalist)

MUA: Claire Warmenhoven & Elicia Ringuet

Hair: Bianca Pezzella (www.biancaerohairboutique.com)

Assistant: Lyndell Roberts

Camera gears: Canon 5D Mark II & 7D – Nikon D3s & D3x

Lighting gears: Profoto Acute2 2400, acute2 heads with Giant Reflector & Mola beauty dish (Setti silver).

Video behind the scene and more coming soon.

Another BTS

So long that I haven’t posted in my blog…

I’ve been so busy with shooting and editing that I almost forgot to update my journal.

Just to let you know that I am working on the project M2 and it is meant to be bigger, better and definitely takes more time to set up …

In the mean time, here are a few images captured behind the scene, that’s why the name BTS, from a shoot with a fellow photographer, Robert Coppa.

The model is Divya that I had the joy to shoot for Project M.

MUA is Kirsten, that I will have the joy to work with in the project M2 as well as Priya, the Hair stylist.

Check back this space soon for more.

NOT EDITED

Hot Day For A Kill

Following my previous post, these are a few (same) images with a different approach.

If you visit this blog for the first time, you’ll very likely see this post first …

It was a harsh and hot day and we did the shot exclusively outside with the sun high in the sky. Big thanks to the team and the crew for their professionalism. It was hot but w had really good fun (man, the food was awesome. I wish I took some take away home … )

Please bear in mind that no body got hurt during the shoot and these images have been captured with professionals with all necessary security measures.

Don’t try this at home 🙂

Tech infos:

Nikon D3s, Canon 7D and Canon 5D Mark II

Off camera flashes triggered with RadioPoppers (SB800, SB900 and 580 EX II)

PS: I just noticed that in this series, Andy is almost the victim ...

Sorry man, I’ll fix it soon 🙂

Big thanks to Mr. Ponds for allowing us to shoot in his awesome property.
