Tamsin. The Model Mayhem

I had a shoot this afternoon with Tamsin and I must say that I was blown away by the model.

As I always do, I met Tamsin during the week for a meet and greet chat about the shoot and what I had in mind.

Tamsin appeared as a very reserved young lady, almost shy, but willing to do her best for the shoot.

Well, I knew a bit about Tamsin before meeting her and knew what she was capable of but I’d say that I was blown away at the photo shoot.

I am a full time flash shooter and use several flashguns intensively. With Tamsin, I didn’t need the light. She was the light.

The session started a bit in a mess with the flashguns not getting in sync with the radio poppers and also, once again, it was an outdoor shot and it was freezing.

Hummm… It took me a while to set the lights up, while Tamsin was standing in a light business suit (that was the theme of the shoot, by the way) and I had to warm up the session before the model got frozen.

Anyway, here are a few images of the afternoon shoot (more to come soon).

Winter in the park

Who’d have thought that I’d be outside such often during winter.

I spent so much time outside that I even forgot to blog and put up some new stuffs. Promised, I’ll get back behind the keyboard soon.

These are a fewphotos from a recent shot with Rachelle. My hat off for Rachelle, who braved the cold, and posed for me in really thin coats.

There was a double purpose for this shoot, Rachelle’s portfolio and, as a dual system shooter, I wanted to put my gears in real shooting situation tests:

I packed my 2 Canon 5D Mark II and my Nikon D700 along with their famous 70-200 f2.8 L/ED IS/VR USM/AF-S.

I will be posting a full report on this particular dual system shoot in a next post, so stick around.

These are a few images from the shoot. Scroll down for a behind-the-scene video.
