Apologies for the lack of updates recently. Have been absolutely flat out! The upside of that is I have a stack of cool images to share with you all.
First up, my shoot with the lovely Ashleigh Cleave-wallace. Ashleigh wanted to update her modeling portfolio with a few new looks. We decided to shoot 3 scenes in one 6 hour session around Shoreditch.
Of course there’s more to strong imagery than good lighting, so I called in my new favourite hair and make artist, the uber talented Ana Popescu
Abi at lastminutefashion.com supplied this cute 40s red dress, so we shot that first
A super quick re-style, then we headed outside to catch the falling sun. Being London and all there was bugger all of a sunset, so I gelled my flash blue (camera geeks, I used a Lee Full CTB)
so that we could then correct the colour back, in camera, to a neutral foreground. This removes blue from the image, which has the consequence of sending the sky orange. Flash was powered about 1.5stops above the ambient, which makes the sky darker and therefore a touch more interesting
Note it was pretty cold and windy, but Ashleigh pushed through just wearing her jacket between takes!
We all headed back inside for Ashleigh to thaw out, whilst Ana worked her magic again with another hair and make up change
I set up the hallway with a red gelled flash hiding in the back. This pic is taken from the back, you can see my strip light (used in the foreground) way at the other end
The strip light, un-gelled, so that we could get a small section of Ashleigh lit with clean white light
A quick change of background gel and we rolled off the final images
Thanks to Ashleigh and Ana
