Bridal Magazine Shoot

Last year I did the photo shoot for the Your Local Wedding Guide Magazine Canberra.

The editors of the magazine were so happy with the shoot that they asked me to do it again this year.

It was a really fun day shooting at the Hotel Realm, in Barton.

The mock up has now been finalized and the cover is up for poll on the website.

I’d say that I am also very happy of the result as this shot was planned to be a studio set up and I asked to use the location with so many nice backdrops for the shoot.

I’m glad they listened.

I used two “tiny” Canon flashes for these images and without additional battery packs. The flash guns were on light stands with umbrellas.

Here are the covers to choose from.

Thank you again Michael & Lyn from Your Local Wedding Guide to come down to Canberra for the shoot.

Also big hugs for the models: Emma and Jordan who did a fantastic job during the shoot.

Urbaine Glamazones

Une fois n’est pas coutume, cet article est en francais et est relative a une seance photo que j’ai eu la semaine derniere avec deux amies modeles: Rachelle et Emma.

Si vous etes un fidele de mon blog, vous avez du deja vu les articles precedent parlant de ce shoot.

Rien de nouveau ici, si ce n’est la facon d’editer les photo. Ce n’est un secret pour personne, j’aime bien le noir & blanc et j’ai voulu accentue’ le chic et le glamour avec le noir.

Qui a dit que le fshion doit etre chatoyant de couleur avec une tonne de Photoshop? certainement pas moi.

Ces photos ont ete tres legerement retouchees, quelques unes ont eu le traitement d’une texture. Le resultat, je trouve, est tres flatteur pour les modeles mais aussi pour la composition.

J’ai intitule cet article “Urbaine Glamazones” pour evoquer le chic et glamour dans le chaos d’un mur de tag.

Petite note technique: j’ai utilise’ un flash deporte’ sur ces images, actionne’ par un couple de Radio Popper.

J’ai utilise’ essentiellement le Canon 5D Mark III avec l’objectif Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS L USM. J’avais aussi ammene’ un Nikon D700 et l’objectif Nikkor 70-200 F2.8 AF-S VR, mais l’ai tres peu utilise’.

Emma Wannell unleashed.

When I first met Emma, for my usual meet and greet interview, she appeared to be a reserved and almost shy young model.

The contact was immediately established between the photographer and the model.

We discussed the shoot and what to expect from each other.

I’d say that I am nicely surprised on the set by Emma’s professionalism and the way she acts as a model.

Emma needed very little direction and comply with any posing requests that I asked her for. The images speak for themselves.

Is Emma the next Miss Top Model ?

Who knows but Emma is definitely a model to watch and follow.

No more chat, let room for the images. Enjoy.
