My studio mate does lots of liquid shots and needs super fast flash duration in order to freeze motion. So he bought these Ascor “Sun” strobes. I think they were made to light up the ground from an airplane for spy photos…..Or something like that. Super mad scientist stuff!
I could have used these for a shoot I had the other day, but locating a sync cord was a problem. I wonder why? These strobes were made in the 60′s Read More…
What do you get when you add a bull (well part of a bull), dirt (lots of dirt), and a matador (well at least the costume at the moment?)
You will see in the next few posts. The shoot is this Friday in the studio!
This is a prop for an upcoming shoot just arrived at the studio…Now I need the rest of the bull. Any ideas anyone?
I recently did two advertorials for Samsung for the European market. One that talks about Samsung’s mp3 players with Ken Pohlman who is an absolute guru on digital sound. That one we shot in Atlanta, Georgia at Big Studio last summer when its 100 plus degrees outside. Thank God we were in a studio! The other advertorial was shot in NYC and it was about Samsung’s Series 6 HDTV’s. Read More…
The client wants a model standing on rocks in water. So I had to build a 12′ x 16′ pool in the studio to make that shot a reality. My client then asks for rain in the shot. Oh oh that would require a studio with drains in the floor and our budget going out the window so that idea is nixed. Here is a small super fast movie of the pool building and shot. Its kinda rough with no sound, but you get the idea. I will have a much slicker behind the scenes movie posted soon. Thanks to my assistant Andrea Patton who helped put it together.
Here are some more behind the scene shots for this project. The final images will be enlarged to 8′x12′ and will be used in a high end restaurant in Atlantic City. I learned quite a bit about Geisha’s in the process of producing this shoot. Thankfully I had Allyson Viera the prop/fashion stylist to make Read More…
Here is a quickie end of the shoot photo with Natsuko from a current project I am working on. I will post a behind the scenes, and finished pics when they are ready. Thats me in the shot by the way, and I am not holding the fan…..
