Highlight & Low Sat

I should be editing some weddings and instead of, I find myself experimenting on some new style in my editing.

I find that giving a high glow on the main subject and darken the surrounding gives a nice soft and edgy effect.

Unlike the traditional dodge and burn principle, the high light here almost takes away all “structure” of the main model and just leaves very subtle details …

here are a few from my recent shoot with Iulia and the the very selective focusing approach with the Canon TS-E 90mm tilt-shift lens.

I’m loving this lens so much right now.

Flagrant Delit

A hotel room. Two people. A hundred reasons not to be there.

This is a model shoot with two friends model, Iulia Lungu and Shane Foreman, last Saturday at the Hyatt in Canberra.

I had a quick chat with Iulia during the week about the shoot and we talked about various themes but haven’t decided what to shoot. I usually chose a location and a theme for the shoot but really like the intrigue of the unknown and also improvise on the set.

This shoot was all but predictable. First I wanted a dark scene where the couple would be really “uncomfortable” for shooting and I planned to push them to the limits… 🙂

Well, we started quite late, around 8pm, so they had dinner before hand :)… Not easy to put the models in uncomfortable situations and positions with their stomachs full. Isn’t it ?

Hummm, I must admit that they did pretty well actually. Ther was no precise theme and I decided to improvise as I didn’t know how the room looked like.

The scene is set and I started shooting from the hall way.

Here is the first set: Flagrant Delit. Debut d’une serie noire.
