Just a quick blog

Thought it would be nice to throw some 5 minute stuff that I've done in the last 4 months this time around. Coincidentally they all involve my awesome wife as the model. Hence I can say I'm married to a model :D

So in no particular order -

One night Shona was doing her study for her masters and I got a bit of inspiration from the intense look she gave when she studied. So I set up the shot to (hopefully) mimic the kind of scene that one would be in when they were studying late at night - i.e. tired expression while staring at laptop kinda thing.


Here is the set up:

CTB'd flash  from inside laptop to get the illumination of the laptop screen (cause they eminate a blue light)

Umbrella to highlight the laptop's "Dellness"

This one started to get the 'look' I was going for - I collapsed the umbrella a bit to modify the light going onto the laptop. But it still didn't feel right to me - so I added a CTB gel and.....

 Now with the last shot I took, Shona threw her head up while laughing and it turned out to be the best one in my opinion - it just completely altered the look of the scene.

 Futher back I got Shona to pose for a few profile shots:

Now the main purpose of this was to play around with lighting Shona. I had a real lack of colour so I draped a sheet from the laundry over the wall as a background. I couldn't be bothered ironing it as I wanted to concentrate on playing around with the angle of the lights more so then concentrating whether or not it made for a really cool background. Although it does reduce the quality of the photo though.

And my favourite:

Now time to go paint some walls for next time.

Ciao,
