Nomad Models

Winter is settling in in Canberra and the Wedding season is almost over.

I then turned to my second passion for photography: Fashion.

From an event and wedding “profile”, I do prefer shooting outdoor, event for fashion photography and here in Canberra, we do have some amazing locations to shoot.

For these various shoots, I mainly use Profoto lighting gears and alternated Hasselblad H4D40 with Canon gears (5D2, 1D4) and Nikon gears (D3s, D3x).

I also used a couple of C.Buff products including Alien Bees B1600s and Einstein with VBII and Mini Lithium battery packs.

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’.

Rachelle reloaded

From a recent shoot with Rachelle Wood, during the cold in winter on top of the Mt Ainslie, in Canberra.

I started shooting Rachelle for the first time last year and immediately saw in her the potential of a growing Model.

Rachelle is very easy to work with, she is very volunteering and don’t take life too much seriously.

Modeling poses are sometimes awkward but the images have more impact and the model is put forward. It didn’t take me too long to have a good work flow with Rachelle on the set.

This is the third time that we had a shoot together and Rachelle is becoming one of my favorite models.

Room for more images.

Models on the top of Canberra

Another shoot in the cold with my favorite model Rachelle and another young and talented model : Emma.

This is the second time that I shoot Rachelle during this winter. Despite the cold, both models showed professionalism and did a really good job.

Once again I put the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D700 to the test and I shot more with the Nikon than the previous shoot.

Both cameras perform beautifully but I still have my preference for the Canon for its bigger file size (more mega pixels) and the color rendition. But again, after post, one can barely tell, especially for web based sizes.

For this shoot, I had the pleasure to have the visit of my Dad. He was “responsible” for my love of photography and it was really cool to have Dad on set.

Check out the behind the scene video under the photos. The video was shot my my brother Vincent. The shoot was on Mt Ainslie in Canberra.

Enjoy.

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.
